Use the tabs to the right to select a genre and see what other students are reading.

We need more reviews from students so please contribute your Book Review to the website!

I had my library service worker showcase some of the displays for Valentine's Day this month. A different student came up with the idea to have students vote for their favorite romance trope.

I selected 10 contemporary YA Black authors to showcase during Black History Month. I created a Canva flyer for each one with a photo, a quote from their literature, and a QR code that linked to additional information about the author (an interview, a social media page, etc.). This flyer was placed next to the author's books. I also posted these flyers throughout the month of February on Schoology.

I found this idea on Pinterest. Students enjoyed it and even made suggestions of titles to be added to the display.

My library practice students and I took the top 8 most checked out books since the beginning of school and threw them into a bracket. Principal Donohoe announced the battles during advisory each day. Students voted by poll through their Schoology Counseling Groups. The final battle was Diary of A Wimpy Kid and Dog Man. 8th graders voted Dog Man best book, but the 6th and 7th graders declared the new top dog was Greg Heffley! This poster of the brackets generated a lot of interest and debate.
