My Project
I am a teacher/librarian at an elementary school that serves many Navy and Army families in Hawaii. The library is the center of encouraging literacy on our preschool through sixth-grade campus. About half of the students at my school are military dependents who move locations every three years. My students come to the library twice a month for library visits where they borrow books for academic and recreational purposes.
I'd like to purchase books for my upper grade students for independent reading.
The goal for this project would be to update my graphic novels section with new books such as "My Aunt Is a Monster" and "The Cardboard Kingdom #2: Roar of the Beast". Graphic novels are extremely popular and the illustrations encourage literacy and reading.
My second goal is to provide copies of just released horror novels in this project. Titles such as "Zombies Don't Eat Veggies" and "The Moth Keeper" will be promoted with my students for independent reading and for other classroom lessons.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
