Read Across America

In honor of Dr. Seuss, March is designated as Read Across America month. To celebrate the month, we decided to determine which books from our collection represent each state. Library aide Elana Spittles searched the library catalog to come up with a list of books. Senior Jordyn Picolet drew a map of the United States, and senior Jessica Filkin did the lettering on the poster. We were surprised to learn that we have at least one book for every state except South Dakota! So, if you're interested in your own "Read Across America" challenge, check out the new poster in the library window!

Try your luck!

Since her "Blind Date with a Book" bin was extremely popular in February, senior Jordyn Picolet designed a new bin with a St. Patty's Day focus. Students can read Jordyn's description of the books before deciding to try their "luck" and opening the bag.

Spring into reading!

This book bin was designed and organized by Elana Spittles during Library Volunteer Service.

Going "green" in the library!

"Series"ously, check these books out!

Do you like to follow characters across a series of books instead of just one and done? If so, we've got some great series in the library! Many of these are new books that just hit the shelves this week, so stop by and see what you can find.

This is a continuation of the Gone series by Michael Grant.

What would Wednesday read?

Wednesday is an American coming-of-age supernatural/comedy series currently streaming on Netflix; it is based on the character Wednesday Addams of the Addams family fame. Library aide Jayden Coover worked on a display to showcase books that Wednesday might read. All of these books are currently available for checkout.
