This Just In: New Book Releases

Help me give my students newly released children's literature to spark their book joy!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Davis's classroom raised $497

My Project

Our students get a big kick out of coming to the library! While they are required to read continuously throughout the day, the reading material is almost always selected or determined by someone else!

Visiting the library means our students can exercise their voice and choice to make decisions for self-selected reading!

Therefore, it is my goal as their librarian to provide the best variety of book genres and levels. Although our school only serves students in second and third grade, we have a wide variety of reading abilities within those two grade levels. The pandemic has not been kind to our students who have had little access to appropriately leveled books through school and public library closures. This project is to level the playing field for our students who have suffered learning loss over the past two years and encourage enthusiasm for independent reading through book joy!
