The atmosphere is one of focused engagement and shared discovery, as we cultivate a community of lifelong readers.\r\nA few students, in particular, have been exceptionally moved by the new additions. One student, who previously struggled to find books that piqued their interest, has been captivated by a new graphic novel series.
