FROM THE LIBRARY

Valentine’s Day Displays

Come check out the Books Summit Staff LOVE display.  Maybe you will find a new favorite based on a teacher’s recommendation!  You can also write down a book that you LOVE on a heart.  Random hearts will be drawn for prizes on Valentine’s Day!

Black History Month

In February we celebrate Black History Month.  Stop by and find a great book about the Black experience in the United States or by a Black author.  We also have a BHM Challenge this month called “Read Black”.  You’ll need to come pick up a bookmark, and you keep track of every book (or every 50 pages) you read from a Black author.  Prizes will be given to those that complete the challenge!

Featured Book of the Month

Eb and Flow is written in verse and alternates from the 2 main character’s perspectives.  After getting in trouble in school for fighting, Eb and Flow discover they have more in common than they had thought.
