SMS Library Resources

School Library Month is a time dedicated to celebrating and recognizing the importance of school libraries and the essential role they play in education. School libraries serve as safe and welcoming environments where students can explore their interests, conduct research, collaborate on projects & develop critical thinking skills. From fostering a love for reading & supporting academic success to providing resources for students and teachers, the library is the place to be!

We have some fun library events happening this month to celebrate! Check out the details below!

The Sora app was designed around the modern student reading experience. It empowers students to discover and enjoy eBooks and audiobooks from their school, for both leisure and class-assigned reading.
