Having books that engage students is extremely important. If there is no interest in what they're reading, there won't be student engagement in the activity.

The students are so excited to have more library space for lounging and reading instead of my old bookshelves taking up so much space. I was able to get 2 of my previous book shelves worth of books onto just 1 of these new ones! My whole library fits on these 2 bookshelves now!\r\n\r\nStudents love being able to easily see the books, no more digging through bins! They can quickly see the Elephant and Piggie books, or the Ella Diaries books, or the Dog Man books. They are grabbing books that they hadn't noticed before. Their reading is really growing, and I see more students gravitating towards reading once they finish work instead of drawing or messing around.
