2015-16 School Year

Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a great summer. I am looking forward to a Marr-velous year. We will be receiving shipments of new books this Fall. I am continuing the Rave Reviews program; so if you are looking for a book, check out that page and see what others are reading and what they recommend.

GIFT Books

I received my Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books!! Thank you GIFT Board! I have them on my shelves and they are already being checked out. One girl told me when she checked out the first Nancy Drew "I'm going to read them all." You just can't beat the classics.
