Join us this summer with OverDrive’s annual reading program. Sora Sweet Reads is designed to encourage students to keep reading all year long. We’re offering a collection of free and simultaneous use juvenile and young adult ebooks (and select audiobooks). These titles will be available to participating schools and prominently displayed in Sora so it’s easy for students to find their next sweet read.  Go to SORA and check it out starting May 4.  These titles will be available all summer!

As the school year moves along I want to remind students that you can always access our digital library, SORA, for a book.  We have a large number of graphic novels and audio books available along with regular books.  We are adding new books every month so make sure to check back often and see what is new.

We have all heard about how important it is to wash your hands and to wash them thoroughly.  You need to wash them for 20 seconds which is 2 rounds of Happy Birthday to you.  Have your gotten tired of that song and ready to try a new 20 second song?  Here is a short "Row Row Row Your Boat" version for everyone to try.  Have fun, sing it loud and remember..............WASH YOUR HANDS!

Added Titles to SORA

We have added more books to SORA.   

Great news for all of you readers out there.  Our district just added 300+ books to SORA!  That means that there are some great new titles and current popular books.  We have also taken all of the past holds (put on prior to January) and taken them off.  Hopefully, this will help clean up those OLD holds and makes more books available to everyone.  We are asking that you only check out 1 or 2 books at a time and make sure you return them as soon as you finish reading them.  This will make more books available as we continue our at home adventure and learning.

KEEP READING!
