A​ library is a place for all to enjoy, so providing a variety of activities is important. The books will satiate our students' need to read the latest and greatest books and the newest additions to their favorite series. The LEGO architecture kits will go a long way to help our students be engaged in the library in multiple ways. Exploring, inquiring, building, and learning are parts of today's library that engage students. With students spending the majority of their day at school, the library is a space where they can be safe to explore their own interests and ideas. Quality books and activities are a key part of developing this area of the school.
