My Project

Our school, at one time, had a beautiful fully stocked library with a wonderful librarian. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, we lost our school library and librarian. They took the books and furniture from the school and we as classroom teachers were to create our own library center in the classroom.

My classroom library consists of three bins and a very small now broken bookcase.

I really could use some help with getting better shelves for my library so my students can see the books more easily without sitting on the floor looking through the bins. I can even organize them by genre. The bean bags will allow students to read comfortably when given time. The book decorations will add just a little extra to that center to make it more special.
