My Students

Our amazing students love to read! They are taking full advantage of putting books on hold and coming to school to pick them up. They love to read new, interesting books with current topics that feel relevant to their lives.

My Project

Whether our kids are at school for in-person learning or continuing at home - they need new books! This project attempts to provide students with new award-winning books as well as fresh copies of much-loved favorites. For some of our students, they will be coming to the library for the first time! We want to them to feel excited by what they discover. Whether it's curling up with a favorite Dog Man or diving into Jacqueline Woodson's latest, let's give our students some magic to carry them through the rest of the year!
