The books are categorized clearly—by genre, reading level, and topic—which has made it so much easier for my students to find books that interest and challenge them. One specific moment that stood out was during our independent reading time: a student who previously struggled to find books they enjoyed excitedly discovered a new series in the fantasy section and hasn't stopped reading since. It's moments like that that remind me how powerful access to the right resources can be.\r\n\r\nNow that the school year has come to a close, I can confidently say that the library made a huge impact on my students' learning and reading growth.
