We are celebrating Reading Across America Week at AGS!
I ask the students every once in a while how many books they think are in their library. I get answers anywhere from 10 to 10,000! So since I began my job back in 2007. I was shocked see 5,000 books in the repor, with 731 added this year!! We will no doubt hit 1000 by May!
Today began our week long celebration of the Dr. Seuss Read Across America! AGS Library is ready!
