My Project

According to Groucho Marx, "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." My students enjoy that quote mainly because they try to visualize what it is like to read inside a dog; however, we often analyze the depth of why a book is also a man's best friend. With all of its space, my classroom needs more shelving for library books. Many of my readers are packed in a cart where only the spines are visible. This arrangement is problematic because the students cannot see the covers. My students can easily select titles of interest by having the display stand.

Your contribution to Out of Sight, Out of Mind will serve as a means for organizing books and making the room look more inviting and less cluttered.

If what they say about "not judging a book by its cover" is true, then it would be pretty beneficial, at the very least, to give the book a fighting chance if they can actually see the cover. Funding this project will increase students' desire to read more reference materials and content-specific titles.
