MCPS Exceeds Growth! We are so proud!!!

"Book of the Month" club is coming back for year 2! We have titled this after-school book club as the "Book Explorers". Attached you will find the paper that explains what this club looks like as well as the book titles for the year and TENTATIVE dates. This paper should be coming home in the next couple of days as well.

Additionally, another sheet will be coming home that has specific information for the first meeting including the RSVP link. Stay tuned and be on the lookout!

We are working on getting multiple copies of each of these books into the library. Last year we purchased titles through a grant. If you are interested in purchasing a few of these titles to go into our library collection (and be available for students to check out), scan the QR code or click on the following link! Excited to continue this with students at MCPS this year!
