Final Month of Circulation
As of May 30th, we will suspend circulation for the library.
All books should be returned or paid for by that time. We hope to do inventory and create an accurate record of what's in the library.
Be sure to check out the Summer Reading List suggestions which will be posted before Memorial Day. Let's keep our great Chandler Students reading all summer!
The DMS has chosen "City of Embers" by Jeanne DePrau for their summer "Whole School" Read. Some of our students have already read the book. It's a terrific book!
More later.....
