I'm especially glad we can tell students that when they find a book they want to read again or share with someone at home, it's theirs to keep.\r\n\r\nWe've already had several classes visit to choose books for school projects, and students have also stopped by on their own to find something to read for fun. One of my favorite parts has been seeing students come in simply because they want to find their next book. Whether they're choosing a book for an assignment or following their own interests, they get to explore the shelves and decide what they're excited to read.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build a library our students are already making their own.
