My Project
As a school librarian, it totally makes my day when a student finds a book that interests them, especially if that student has not shown any interest in borrowing books before. My hope is that each student who comes into the library finds a book that they can relate to. To do that, the library has to have a diverse collection that is inclusive -- reaching low-to-high level readers, English Language Learners (ELLs), students with learning disabilities, etc. These books would support my efforts to engage students to read more.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
