back to school





It's back to school time! It seems the summer flew by. Our summer reading program was super successful, with 777 kids reading...wait for it....11,019 books! Did I just hear a gasp? Oh, that was me... but isn't that unbelievable? Congratulations to all you ragin' readers out there and their parents!

Now here are some books that will ease the transition from summer fun to school excitement:






This book expands upon the ten rules you should know before you go to school. Cute and funny!
