📕🗓 Back-to-School Book Talks

Several classes visited the library this week for book talks and browsing sessions. It's a great opportunity to introduce students to new books, authors, and genres, as well as share information about the library itself. Students heard many engaging book talks on a variety of books, from new authors (like Scott Reister) to popular favorites (like Neal Shusterman). Later in the period students had time to browse for an independent reading book and talk about books with their classmates. 

Curious about the books featured in the book talks? Here they are!

📚 Welcome Back to the Library!

We've kicked off the 2024 - 2025 school year! Many things remain the same in the library, like the different look to the shelving and the check-out process, but there's a different look as we prepare for a shared space alongside a hallway to ease congestion during passing time. 

This new construction allowed for some new display space, so after seeing The Book Wrangler's vintage book covers on display in his space, I was inspired to create young adult book covers. These now hang along the wall and are already generating quite a bit of conversation among students!


Back this year is the dynamic shelving that features series and popular authors' books, making browsing more engaging and easier for students. 


Stop by today to see what's new in the space itself, as well as what's new in the collection!
