Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Pleas help our school receive accurate and appropriate shelving for our library. We currently have two very large outdated shelves that were donated from Barnes & Noble several years ago. I was recently hired in October and have been updating as best as I can in the amount of time I am given daily. Prior to me being hired the library was closed for 5+ years since Covid. The shelves sat there unused deteriorating. They are way too large and need to be updated; it’s not suitable for the size students entering our library! I serve students pre-school -6th grade classes with occasional visits from seventh and eighth grade students.
