Food for Thought

We have a wonderful program at BBA called "Food for Thought." Students and faculty create their own book groups and the school purchases copies of the books for participants and pays for a meal during their book discussion. Groups can be initiated by students or faculty/staff. A group must consist of at least three students and one faculty member. The book can be anything that interests the group, for example, a deeper examination of a subject touched on in class, a shared hobby, or simply entertainment. To qualify for the “Food for Thought” program the book must be completely optional; it cannot be a class requirement. “Food for Thought” is a great opportunity to connect with fellow students and faculty in a different setting and nurture a love of reading.

BBA Reads

Have you ever wondered what your favorite teacher likes to read? Wonder no more.

There are so many book lovers and readers on campus and we wanted to share what they are reading with you. To support our culture of reading, the library posts "I'm reading" signs outside of faculty and staff offices. Look around campus for these signs to find a great read and quench your curiosity.

Green Mountain Book Award

The Green Mountain Book Award is a student choice award for 9th-12th grade students in the state of Vermont. Read at least 3 of the selections to be able to cast a vote for the winner in the Spring.

The library has all 15 nominated books in our collection. Stop by to peruse this collection on display in the library.

Teen Lit Mob April 10, 2024

Writers & Readers: Teen Lit Mob is the event for you! This is a Literary Festival in Vermont for teenagers. An entire day to celebrate reading and writing. We will travel to U32 high school in Montpelier on Wednesday, April 10th for the day. Lunch will be provided. The keynote speaker is Malinda Lo, author of The Last Night at the Telegraph Club. After the keynote, students will select and attend the workshop of their choice. The workshops will be with Lo or one of the following authors: A.R. Capetta, Ann Dávila Cardinal, Cory McCarthy, Linda Urban. This is an amazing opportunity to be in a classroom learning and working directly with a published author. We still have a few spots left.
