What one 3rd grade class returned! I love these videos because sometimes what I think kids are checking out and what they are actually checking out are different 👀 instagram.com/reel/DBtvPaZJ-…
One of our wonderful library associates Mrs. James wears this shirt every single Wednesday for a specific student who loves to see the pigeon. We are so lucky to have someone making such important connections with readers 😍 #WeAreADM instagram.com/p/DA6Yzi8SqEr/…
Meadow View students ended a crazy homecoming week with some free reading in the library #WeAreADM instagram.com/reel/DAtZPQjpS…

I loved The Owl Prowl Mystery @dianarenn! Can a group of determined kids figure out who seems to be baiting the owls, putting them in danger? Filled with conservation tips, not jumping to conclusions, staying curious, believing in yourself. #BookAllies

If you combine Maddy’s anxiety, with the peer pressure Max faces, and the unwanted attention Mila receives from a male classmate the result is this compelling new book, CRUSHED, from @MLConklin. An important addition to middle school libraries! #BookAllies
