Words with Miss Renee
Hello Readers!
What an exciting time of the year. Whether your children attend school outside the home or from the dining room table, there's always a buzz around back to school. It's a time to restart, think about goals, habits, and potential. If carving out time for studying or reading works better for your children outside the home, we have many places in the library that could do just the trick!
Best of luck to each and every family as the new school year begins!
Registration for our programs are found here!
Yours in literacy and life,

Juvenile Fiction (JF Ell)
Eva’s class is preparing for the Nature Day party. Mrs. Featherbottom splits the class into two clubs and each club has to come up with ways to help the planet. When Eva gets placed in a different club from her best friends, Lucy and Hailey, she misses them. But Eva learns new things about her classmates, and she discovers that someone in her club is also missing a friend! With speech bubbles, easy-to-read text, and adorable characters, this New York Times bestselling series is perfect for newly independent readers!
Juvenile Picture Book (JP Arn)
Prepare for plenty of giggles as a kindergarten class arrives for their first day of school, but can't find their teacher—only a delicious-looking sandwich and the words "Mr. S" scribbled on the chalkboard. Chaos ensues as the kids argue whether or not the sandwich must be their teacher. A comical, first day of school book of mayhem and chaos by Monica Arnaldo, perfect fans of Miss Nelson Is Missing.
