My Project

Now that we are finally going to have a normal school year, we need new titles for our library. My student love to come down to the library and see what contemporary titles that have been added to the shelves.

It's great to see excited kids walking down the hallways with a new book in their hands.

This year the school district will be re-establishing a reading log/testing program that will track books read and comprehended using a point system. So our library will need interesting books for several reading levels.
