2016 Reading Challenge
It has been so exciting to hear from several staff members that the 2016 Reading Challenge has inspired them to "jump on-board" and share titles they are reading throughout this year. :)
I'm going to figure out a way to have all of our book suggestions and reviews visible in the lounge, and hopefully this will inspire more of our staff to keep reading!
At this time I am tackling The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver for enjoyment, and reading Passionate Learners: How to Engage and Empower Your Students, by Pernille Ripp, as my professional read for this month.
Please send any fun or enriching titles that you are reading my way!
Thank you!
