Book talks are happening!

Ms.Cain and Ms. Singh brought freshmen in to hear about recommended novels. Sometimes it helps to hear from an author or read reviews. Ms. Snow shares examples here.

Check out these checkouts!

Books have been flying off the shelf this year, and we couldn't be happier to see students checking out books because they WANT to. Follow @sequoiareads on Instagram to keep up with the selections.

We still need your Textbooks Back!

We are still trying to account for textbooks that never made it back to us due to distance learning. We do not charge fines for late returns. Remember, some textbooks are novels, like Persepolis! Feel free to use the book drop if we are not open.
