My Project

My students are just like any other group of kids in that they like to keep up with what is current and on-trend. The young adult fiction novels would help them build stamina due to their length, as well as, help them gain an extensive vernacular. My sincerest hope is that our diverse student body sees themselves reflected in the books that we house in the library--the struggles and triumphs.

"Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him." ~Maya Angelou
