Ms. Julie, your Library Tech, is here to say hello and to tell you how wonderful your children are! They love the library and she is wondering if you could help her help your students have an even better library than we have now! She has a super easy way for you to do just that!
Check out this Amazon wish list with books we would like for our library. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/5XD3XV2AYHCT?ref_=wl_share
You can also find books at a second-hand bookstore if that's more your style. And hey, if you've got a favorite book you think she should have, she'd love to have it! It's so fun watching our Wildcats get excited about reading new books.
