To encourage and promote the importance of summer reading, we will be having a Book Swap June 10th - 14th during library classes. The Book Swap is a great way to recycle books that have already been read and get new-to-you books to read over the summer! All you have to do is bring in gently used elementary books from home and swap them at school for different ones.
