Help me give my students access to the Seyquoyah books this year. Our state has a book reading award each year. We would like to participate and have access to the books on the list.

My Students
Do you remember visits to the library when you were young? Exploring the shelves, looking for a book that would take you on an exciting adventure. Remember the excitement of getting to check out a new book...
My students are avid readers.
The students are also voracious readers that devour all the books in our library. They love coming to the library to get books and explore worlds outside their small community. In this small, rural town community, our outside resources are low. The students depend on our school library because most do not have access to books outside of school. Due to budget cuts, new books are hard to come by and many of our books are old and outdated. Students eagerly inquire about new books and if any will be available soon for check out. I don't want to dampen their enthusiasm for reading by lack of new materials.
My Project
I have around 500 students that would like to participate in the Sequoyah book award program. We live in a small, rural town and would love access to the books on the new list this year. My school consists of only 4th, 5th and 6th grades. All the students will have access to these books.
We are passionate readers!
With these books, my students will be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more. By the time students have reached 6th grade they had read the majority of the books in the library. So these books would open new adventures for them.
They will also be doing a video review on these books to introduce and encourage others to read them.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
