My Project

Our library does not have the books that students are asking to read. Because of this, they are not wanting to read for enjoyment because they do not have access to current and exciting books.

Books can transform a classroom into a faraway village, another country, or even another realm.

These books would help students to open their imaginations and be transported to a place of intrigue, mystery, and enchantment. They would have access to the popular authors of today that they all want to read, but can not afford to purchase outside of school.

Grades 9-12
