My library is the focal point of my classroom. Students can sit on pillows or cushions and enjoy a good book. Unfortunately, it is limited to either very old classics or what I have been able to purchase on my own. For this project, I have chosen a list of books to help diversify my classroom library to encourage a love of reading for all of my students.
