The Only Thing Scary Is How Bare the Shelves Are

Help me give my students the creepy books they want to read because we cannot keep our Horror genre stocked.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rowe's classroom raised $694

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our library is "Genrified" or divided by genre. Our middle school students can't get enough of the books in the Horror section. (If you were raised on Goosebumps, maybe you can relate.)

Our students are checking out so many books from the Horror section that the shelves are bare and still, we have students asking for scary books!

We are so excited that so many students are checking out and reading books, but our collection can't keep up with the demand.

Please help us buy second copies of some of our most popular scary titles so that more of our students can read the books that they enjoy. These titles will be cataloged for the library and will go immediately on the shelves for students to borrow.
