Book Club Updates.

The Library currently has 2 book clubs running:

1.  A live zoom for online only students on Thursdays at 10:30.
2.  A Flipgrid book club for in-person learners  where you can participate any time you wish.  All current book club members will get the link to the Flipgrid.

If you would like to be a part of either groups and not currently on the e-mail list, please e-mail Mrs. McAlister.

Featured Book of the Week:

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes –  Did you know that Suzanne Collins wrote a prequel to the Hunger Games?  This exciting book tells the story of Coriolanus Snow and how he got his start as a mentor in the Hunger Games.  You’ll learn what makes him rise to be the villain in the series.  Even if you haven’t read the series yet, you can still enjoy this book.
