My Project

Every year the state of Florida comes out with a list of books for grades K-12. The program is called SSYRA (Sunshine State Young Readers Award) and encourages students to "Read independently for pleasure and to read books that are on, above, and below their reading level in order to improve their reading fluency."

"Sunshine State books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation."

Every year our library is tasked with purchasing multiple copies of each book.

This way many students can enjoy these books at the same time as their classmates. The cost of buying multiple copies of the same book can be a great burden on a library budget.
