My Project

Our middle school serves approximately 700 students. Students can visit the school library media center with their classes and on their own. Our students check out over 12,000 books per year.

One of our most popular nonfiction sections for students is about vehicles!

Students love to read about cars, trucks, and helicopters. Some of our students have read through our current collection and are ready for more. These books are appealing to many students - particularly reluctant readers because they are slim and feature pictures with captions. Thank you for suporting literacy at our school!
