My Project

Our students take pride in our library, and I strive to make it the heart of the school for my students. I enjoy encouraging a love of reading in my students, but there are some students who are difficult to keep giving new titles because they read so much. This is a good thing but not when I have such a small budget. This project will provide new titles for student checkout.

We have few funding options for materials and rely heavily on grants and donations to fund our projects.

This project will provide new books for our library. Students will check out these books and use them for free, independent reading at home and in the classroom. Staying up to date on the latest titles will make a difference in student choice reading. The goal is to get students excited about reading by providing them with new book options!

These new titles are our most requested titles for purchase. The books in this project will be processed and place in the school library for student checkout. Please help me give these students the very best that they deserve by providing us with materials to make our library program the very best.
