My Students

Our middle school library serves more than seven hundred students. Our student population is highly inquisitive, energetic, and motivated to direct their own inquiry-based learning through the exploration of library resources. Our school has an incredible group of students from a richly diverse range of backgrounds. Unfortunately, high poverty is part of the daily experience for most of these learners.

Our wonderful students deserve to have every advantage of access to new books in which they can see themselves and look into other perspectives through books that feature characters different from them.

This year, we are focusing on closing the achievement gap and creating a school full of confident, successful students.

My Project

Project lit books titles are selected by a network of dedicated teachers and students who are committed to increasing access to culturally relevant books and promoting a love of reading in our schools and communities.

Our students are in need of books that offer windows to see different places, experiences, and see other people's cultures as well as relating to their own experiences in the books they read.

This set of books will be inspirational to our students by offering them a connection to the diverse world in which we live.
