The Small Virtual Library
Back to School Edition
Welcome to the Small Virtual Library!
August 2022
Welcome to the FIRST Small Virtual Library of the 2022-23 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, contact me via email (you will find my contact info at the bottom of the Smore,) or message me through Blend! (All students should have a library tile on their Blend Dashboard)
