My Students Deserve to See Award-Winning Books in Their Library!

My students need high quality, award-winning books in their library collection. These Jr. Library Guild selections have been hand-picked by professional reviewers and represent the finest quality books that are available to school libraries.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students live in an urban area with a high poverty rate. While they do their best to achieve at the highest levels, many do not have the resources at home to extend their learning beyond the school doors. Our library budget is extremely limited, but I would like to use Donors Choose to help bridge the gap for my kids.

I would like to give my students the opportunity to read engaging, relevant, high-quality fiction that will enrich their lives.

My students deserve the same opportunities as those who are at schools with large book budgets. These selections will enrich our library collection and provide my students with access to award-winning books.

My Project

These titles have been specifically chosen from Junior Library Guild past selections. JLG reviews over 3000 titles each year and the professionals at the Guild work to identify meaningful titles that are likely to win awards due to their high quality. Junior Library Guild selections go on to win awards/favorable professional reviews over 95% of the time.

My students deserve to see current, relevant, award-winning selections in their Library Media Center.

These materials will increase both the quantity and quality of the books in our library. Currently, our library falls short of the requirements on the number of books per student that we should have according to state standards. In addition, our collection is quite aged and every input of a new, current book will take us one step closer to the type of collection that we would like to offer to our students.
