My Project

Our Title I school is predominately an Hispanic community, rich in diversity with 22 languages spoken.

Many students do not have books at home to read.

It is essential that our library offers books that represent all the cultures. The books requested in this project will provide opportunities for students to see themselves, build community, increase students' empathy, and build a collection to better serve our students. Reading about other cultures and identities can remind students of both similarities and differences in the human experience.

Thank you for believing in this project and supporting our library.
