Reading Matters!

Help me give my students new books. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is well loved and many from our collection are missing or damaged. The binding machine would help immensely to repair books instead of replacing them.

My Project

Our students are very passionate about reading. They love learning new things and telling me about the books they've read or would like to read. They would be very excited to have new reading materials.

My goal is to make the library a cozy, welcoming space for all students to come in to read and relax.

Bringing in new and exciting reading material will help them in language and literacy. Our district book budget is very small and I believe the binding machine would be a great help in repairing the well loved books that we cannot afford to replace.

Our students are special because they are a diverse group of students who are eager to learn and grow. They are welcoming and kind and I would like to be able to have new reading materials for them to enjoy.
