Library Lunch Bunch

I am hosting a daily lunch bunch on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 12-12:30. Students can join during their lunch to enjoy a read aloud and talk with peers. I often highlight new books or featured authors. Students can share some of their favorites as well. Students can join here- https://bit.ly/ChatwithMsJ. I would love to see you there!
