I am the librarian in a Title I school. 83% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch each day. Our students rely on our school library for books because many do not have books at home.
This project was driven by student interest and newly released books.
Our students LOVE reading and I want to fill our shelves with books that will continue to foster a love of reading. All of the titles in this project are high interest books that our students will love reading for years.
I couldn't do this work without your help. My dream for this library is to fill it with all the latest books and my librarian budget just isn't enough. If you choose to support this project, please know that you are significantly impacting our community of readers and I am forever grateful.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
