What’s Happening in the library?  

The Knights Bounty 
Every week, we'll pick a secret lucky number. When that number book gets checked out, YOU claim the bounty! 
Could be the 1st checkout... could be the 50th... you never know! The more you check out books, the better your chances of finding the treasure! 
Stop by the library and check out a book this week. Will YOU be the Knight who claims the bounty? 

Reading Challenge (Aug 24-Sept 24)
We will begin our first reading challenge for the school year beginning on August 24th. Homerooms will compete for a chance to win prizes. The more you read the more points you earn for your team! 
 

Ms. Johnson’s Book Recommendation  

The Last Dragon on Mars 

Description: Mars is dying. One boy. One hidden dragon. One last chance. 
Lunar Jones scraps through the ruins of a cursed Mars just to keep the younger kids at his relocation clinic alive. But when a salvage run goes horribly wrong, he stumbles into an underground bunker—and discovers a secret dragon named Dread.
