With such a diverse student population, finding the right book to read is not always easy. As a result, we have created a library wish list - our students put down books they want to see in the library and we've added books we feel students will enjoy reading. This list is extensive and covers multiple genres, interests, and reading levels. We had some of the books donated through a library fundraiser, but the majority on the wish list remain just that….a wish. Having a student who says he hates reading find a book he devours, and then watching him search excitedly for another book is every librarian's dream. Making sure we have a good selection of books is important - authors like Rick Riordan, Laurie Halse Anderson, and JK Rowling are hard to keep on the shelf. However, having books that are easier to digest (easier reading level or fewer pages) is equally as important. We have students who are not yet able to read, so we need books that can be read to the students. For example, our Life Skills teacher brings his class to our living room area in the library and reads them the Illustrated version of Harry Potter, which allows students not only the opportunity to not only hear the story, but to see it as well.
