The Small Virtual Library

Back to School Edition

Welcome to the Small Virtual Library!

August 2021

Welcome to the FIRST Small Virtual Library of the 2021-22 school year!

Each month I will send out a Smore with any library news and a list of books typically with a common theme, genre, or author.


Important info about each Smore:


  • Each book cover will link to a video book trailer or book review so be sure to click on them!
  • I will also list where you can access each book (in person and/or online) under each cover.



This month's virtual library is all about back to school and how you can start your year off with plenty of places to find amazing books and ebooks!


Need something? Stop by the library OR contact me via email (you will find my contact info at the bottom of the Smore) or checkout my library Blend page! (All students should have this on their Blend Dashboard)
