Welcome to the Living Room Library!

Week of 9/7/2020

Welcome to the FIRST Living Room Library of the 2020-21 school year!

Each week I will have a short video about the Smore as well as 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 under each cover.



This week's Living Room Library is all about back to school and how you can start your year off with plenty of places to find amazing ebooks!

Need something? 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)


Can't find a book your're looking for? You can request books (use the button at the bottom of the Smore) to be added to Sora, our online library.
