My Project

In this project I am requesting Pokemon books for my students to read and check out from our school Library. Our students just love reading and coming to our school Library. We have a great emphasizes on reading throughout our school building. When students come to the school Library they are always looking for the newest and hottest books and topics to stay updated on. These hot topics include Pokemon of course. Students, especially, my boys love Pokemon but currently we do not have enough Pokemon books for all students to be able to get Pokemon books that want to read Pokemon.

As the librarian of a school of 1200+ students I hate having to tell students, "sorry, we don't have that right now." I want my students to have access to all the books they desire to read and have a strong connection with our school library.

Thank you for considering donating to our Pokemon books.
