Free Audiobooks!
Start Your Summer Reading Now!
Do you enjoy listening to audiobooks (or would you like to give it a try)? Would you like to have a collection of audiobooks that you can keep forever and be able to listen to whenever you want?
If so, you should check out Sync Audiobooks for Teens. Starting April 27th, this program offers two books that you can check out per week. You can keep them forever, but the catch is that each pair of books is only available for check-out for one week – then they are gone
Sign up here, or come see Ms. Wheaton in the library for help.

Have you heard of Bibliotherapy? Bibliotherapy is "the use of reading materials for help in solving personal problems." Sometimes, reading about other people experiencing similar problems can help us feel better, give us strategies for dealing with problems, or just help us to feel seen. Check out this list of great bibliotherapy library books (available as both print and ebooks). Come to the library for more personalized suggestions (or to see our nonfiction resources).
