All library books are due! Students who returned books by June 1st have received a raffle ticket for a SUMMER FUN GIFT BAG; grade-level winners will be announced on June 14th! Thank you to all our responsible Star Readers!

Note: If you unable to find your child's book(s), please contact jennifer.kelly@lcps.org to receive a statement with the price(s) listed to clear your student's library record. Please pay cash, check payable to FDES, or use the Library Book Replacement link to pay online.

This week, K-5 students will present their Reader's Theater performance! Ask your child which story their class is performing and which role they play 🙂

This year, Loudoun County Public Library is hosting "Tales and Trails," a fantastic summer reading program for all ages. Students will have an opportunity to visit with a children's librarian from Rust Library June 2nd and 6th to hear all about it! Click HERE for more information.

Are you looking for summer book recommendations to prepare your child for his/her next grade level? Below you will find the most up-to-date SUMMER READING LISTS from Imagination Soup! Use the list for your child's current grade level if that seems best- but if they're ready, download the recommendations for their next grade, the grade they'll be entering in the fall.

Our goal is to get kids reading good books by providing choices and availability. Please remember to visit our fantastic Loudoun County Public Library system (Rust Library in Leesburg), the Little Free Library (by the playground), your child's "library" at home (bookshelf, basket, etc.), and the wide assortment of eBook resources available to students in LCPSGo and Schoology (Library course).
Enjoy!
