Food for Thought Book Groups
Create your own book group to read a book of your choice. Gather a group of friends and a teacher who are all interested in reading the same book. You will each get a copy of the book to keep and enjoy a meal at Spiral Press with your group to discuss the book. See Mrs. Putney for details.
You all have an account/ card in the library.
Come on by to check out books! If we don’t have the book you are looking for, we will borrow it from another library for you. As a Burr and Burton student you are also eligible for a Manchester Community Library (MCL) card. Just bring your school ID to MCL to apply for your card.
