My Project

The readers of Indian Mounds Elementary can hardly sit still when they know it is almost time to check out books! They especially love to flip through our picture books and find a new title that appeals to them.

A donation of recently published picture books will update our Media Center's collection and I can guarantee you these books will fly off the shelves!

Our Media Clerk and Media Director will promote these new titles to our students by reading aloud many of the high-interest selections and introducing the new authors, and illustrators. You'll help our students fall in love with the incredible joy reading brings!
