Students can now quickly browse sections like Athletes, Change Makers, Leaders, and Inventors without frustration. I am now seeing students that previously struggled to find their \"just right\" book confidently walk straight to their bin of interest and excitedly tell me \"I didn't know we had this book!\" Our Roaring Readers are now eager to explore the Biography section and check-out has increased in this section.\r\n\r\nThese bins are now allowing our books to be clearly grouped. Students are spending more time reading and researching rather than searching. Your support has organized our shelves, built confidence, increased engagement, and helped our Roaring Readers see themselves in the stories of real-world leaders.
