Non-fiction books are both the most expensive and the quickest to lose relevance. Given their cost and our low book budget, much of our non-fiction discussing mental health, neurodiversity, and social issues have not been updated since our school opened. These older books perpetuated outdated and often harmful ideologies surrounding sensitive issues such as weight and body image, depression, and anxiety.
We are searching to ensure that students can enter our library and discover books that filled with current information which will aid them as they navigate questions and difficulties they face.
