My Project
I work with wonderful students that are very curious about the world around them. The library is a great place for them to start when seeking information. Nonfiction books are an invaluable source to help our students find the answers they are looking for, but our nonfiction section is very outdated. The average age of our collection is over 20 years old.
My goal for this project is to give all students access to updated nonfiction books that they will love reading.
All of the books on this list will help support 3rd-6th grade curriculum.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
