The Small Virtual Library
2024 Back to School Edition
Welcome to the Small Virtual Library!
August 2024
Welcome to the FIRST Small Virtual Library of the 2024-25 school year!
Each month I will send out a Smore with any library news and a list of books with a common theme, genre, or author.
Important info about each Smore:
- Each book cover will link to a video book trailer or book review so be sure to click on them!
- I will also list where you can access each book (in person and/or online) under each cover.
This month's virtual library is all about back to school and how you can start your year off with plenty of places to find amazing books and ebooks!
August and September all English/Language Arts classes will be visiting the library for orientation and a chance to check out books. I can't wait to meet all of our new students and to see our returning students back at Small!
Need something? Stop by the library, Blend message, or via email (you will find my contact info at the bottom of the Smore) or checkout my library Blend page! (All students should have this on their Blend Dashboard once Chromebooks are reissued)
