Library Rules and Procedures
September Reading Bingo
It's back! The September Reading Bingo board is posted here and in the ECHS Library Google Classroom. The squares that have book lists to help you are hyperlinked on the bingo board. Please feel free to come by the library if you need help finding a book! Remember, the first Family to get a row or 4 corners gets a prize from Mrs. Pharis, but every Family has until September 30th to blackout their bingo board and get their name in the drawing for the big prize at the end of the year! Happy Reading!
September is Public Library Card Sign Up Month!
Find out all the things that are available for you at the Beaumont Public Library!

Show your active public library card to Mrs. Johnson during the month of September to get a piece of candy!
