Most Popular Books Last Month
Featured Resource
Comics Plus is a subscription service that the library pays for to provide access to more graphic novels and manga. The great part of this database is that new resources are added frequently and there are no checkouts or due dates. Every resource is able to be opened by multiple users so a whole class can use the same book if teachers want to use it for a lesson. Friends can both read the same book at the same time!
There are ALL kinds of books, so go to your portal and click on the icon shown above to check it out!
December Competition!
Starting Monday, December 5th, come check out a book and guess how many Book Worms are in the jar! I will announce winners in the January Smore. Winners will get to come get a prize!
