It was lots of fun to celebrate this year’s Minnesota Youth Reading Awards at our Avid Readers Breakfast in April! Thanks to everyone for encouraging your students to read the nominated titles this year.
Our breakfast participants were the first to hear about this year’s award recipients, announced online earlier in the week. I have posted fliers outside of the library for everyone, but please share this information with your students when you have a moment!
