My Project

Before I started working as a librarian, I thought most kids wanted to read about superheroes, gamers and Sponge Bob. I was wrong! The kids at MES want to learn more about their favorite football teams, they want to learn about hunting, the military, all animals, while also diving into a little fantasy. Kids want to learn!

In order to provide accurate, up-to-date information for our youth, we need to provide reading materials that are current.

Our nonfiction section needs updating and I'm asking for your help!
