A brand new library...

Today, at our district's alternative campus, I gave the kids a gift.

A library.

It doesn't have a lot of books. 

Yet.

It doesn't have any comfy seating or lots of posters. 

Yet.

There's no reading challenge or program, or even an adult who staffs it daily.

Yet.

But you know what? For kids who didn't have access to reading material that wasn't a textbook or other curriculum material, it's a chance to read just because they want to. Or maybe they need to for test points. Or maybe they just want to look at some pictures. 

It's a chance for them to read, and maybe connect with a book. And maybe we "save" them. Who knows.

What do you think??

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this ebook galley from Enter Text Here through the netGalley publisher/reader connection program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
