My Project

Los Angeles is home for many ethnicities and races. Through representation and books I hope to share this window with my students so they can learn about someone or read about someone who many look different than them. Many students within my community are refugees and newcomers. By supporting my library and providing students with these titles I hope to build a positive library experience for all students.

These new titles and library supplies will best support our population as they learn about themselves and others through books.

The library is a place where all are welcome and I'd love to make looking for books and finding items of interest as easy and accessible as possible.

My goal is to provide a safe space where all are welcome. Where every student can find a book they like, even if that means just looking at the pictures. By seeing items they specifically are interested in will help establish a rapport and hopefully allow them to visit this space more frequently.
