This three-year collection development proposal aims to increase struggling readers' access to accessible formats at Robinson Secondary School Library. Year 1 plans to add ebooks, audiobooks, and graphic novels through surveying student needs and assessing format usage. Expected outcomes include higher standardized reading scores among special student populations and increased circulation of targeted materials. A proposed budget details additional funds compared to typical expenditures to support this initiative.
