My Project

As a middle school teacher-librarian, I strive to foster a love for reading in our students. Research shows that when students have access to high-interest books, their engagement and reading skills improve dramatically. A well-rounded library collection is essential for catering to the diverse interests and reading levels of our students.

With the support from this project, our school library will be able to provide high-interest reading books (in a series) that will encourage students to continue reading.

These series titles have been requested by students, so filling the gaps and updating our popular series is already in high demand.

Investing in a high-interest book collection for our school library is an investment in our students’ futures. By providing them with engaging, relevant reading materials, we can inspire a new generation of lifelong readers and critical thinkers. Thank you for considering our project to ignite a love for reading!
