December Challenge
How often do you visit your local library? When was the last time you checked out library books? Do you have a library card? This month we have 2 challenges:
1. Get a library card
2. Check out books from the library at least once a week
Our winter break begins Monday, December 21, 2015 and students return Tuesday, January 5, 2016. We encourage you to spend time at the library. The children's area offers events each month and it is a great place to enjoy a few books. Don't forget to check out books to enjoy at home with family and friends. Remember a reader lives a thousand lives, whereas, the man who never reads lives only one!
Our local library, the Riviera Beach Library, is located at 600 West Blue Heron Blvd and the phone number is (561) 845-4195.
