My Students

I am a teacher librarian at a public middle school, serving approximately 1100 students age 11 to 14. Our students have a range of reading levels and interests. 41% of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch, 13% have special needs, 9% are English learners, and 100% love to learn, play, and explore! They enjoy coming to the library to read, relax and play games with their friends, to choose their own books to take home, and to investigate and access information through books and Internet research.

My students come to our school library excited to explore the world!

My job is to be their guide.

Thank you for your support!

My Project

When you walk into a library, you might ask, "What is there to read?" and, "Where can I read it?" Our school library has wonderful books that can be showcased on display racks. I can put thematic collections on the racks; such as sports books, new books, cookbooks, and more! The display racks will make it easier for students to see some of the amazing books that they can choose from.

Students (and adults!) love a cozy place to read.

Once a student finds a great book to read, they'll be looking for a relaxing space to curl up with their new book. I'm creating a new reading nook just for that! We have a great corner space and some bean bags, now we need a rug to put them on!

Your donation will help students be able to access books that interest them and provide a space for them to read and enjoy their books!
