Sports Books Needed!

Help me give my students fiction and nonfiction sports books that my students will enjoy.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ellingsen's classroom raised $689

My Project

I am the elementary school librarian in an urban Title 1 school. My students are smart and eager to check out books from the library. Our sports section in the library is old! A couple of years ago I got rid of over half of the section of books that were extremely outdated. Now, the section is super small.

I'd like to get some new sports books in the sports sections so the students will be excited to check them out.

My students love sports and they are always asking me where the sports section is in the library. I'd love to be able to show them an overflowing area of new sports books.
