My Project

In our community, we have limited access to the books that students want to read. Because of this, students are not reading as much for enjoyment. The local libraries do not have the current titles that students enjoy and the young adult genres are often overlooked. With these purchases, students would be able to read books and topics of their choosing whenever they wanted because the books would be readily available for them to access.

Students often state they do not read because there is nothing they enjoy.

I am hoping that with this project, we can get students the books they enjoy and give them a way to use their imaginations.

Mrs. Birmingham
Grades 9-12
