For National Comic Book Day, we invited local Dallas comic book author Gabriel Hernandez and illustrator Robert Arista to host a workshop with our 4th graders! We talked about creating characters, paneling, and students showed off their own comic book creations! ❤️ @CowartDISD

Third grade coding club AKA Women in STEM because it’s just us girlies in there 💅🏼 Going to be learning right alongside them this year 😂 @CowartDISD @DISD_Libraries

Started up the Reading Buddies club this year with 5th graders and our first session was so great! Each student got to invite a student of their choice and then we invited a kindergarten class in as well! 🥹❤️ Love creating these moments with students! @DISD_Libraries @CowartDISD

House Fridays are getting an upgrade this year with clubs!!! Students get to choose a club and the library is hosting coding, theatre, and reading buddies! ❤️ So excited to use the space in this way and build on our House System program! @CowartDISD @DISD_Libraries

Bringing back a little old-school listening center because honestly… the kids LOVE it! They get to choose a popular story, put on their headphones, and enjoy a book in a totally different way. ❤️📚 @CowartDISD @DISD_Libraries

Last day of classes calls for an End of the Year House Picnic! ❤️💙💚🖤 it was such a fun day filled with friendship, games, and the best vibes around 😎 Very thankful for my team that works together to give the best experience to the kids! @CowartDISD

Soaking up these last days with these 5th graders! They saved up all of their stars to be Librarian for the Day and spent the day reading to students, organizing, and having fun w the littles! ✨💜 Definitely going to miss them next year 😭 @CowartDISD @DISD_Libraries

These 3rd graders spent all morning preparing and practicing an interactive read aloud of Pete the Cat for my 1st grade class and it was a hit! 🥰📚✨ @CowartDISD @DISD_Libraries

On Friday, our first graders had the privilege of a virtual illustrator visit from @Anaranda2 🦋✨ Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with our kiddos!

Another Friday, another amazing Book Buddies session! 📚💜 @DISD_Libraries @CowartDISD

Feeling so special and loved this School Librarian Appreciation Day 💜🥹✨

Turning pages into prizes 📚✨Students earn stickers for returning books on time—and every 9 weeks, they shop the Library Store for fun rewards like prizes and coupons (lunch in the library is a favorite!💛) @DISD_Libraries @CowartDISD

The cutest Cowart panthers caught reading! 🐾📚💜 @CowartDISD

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting student athletes from Molina High School to read to our younger students! ❤️ @DISD_Libraries @CowartDISD

Thank you so, so much to @UnitedWayDallas for coming to our school on Friday and making Reading Day 2026 such a success! We had over 25 volunteers come and read to different classrooms! 🤍 @CowartDISD @DISD_Libraries

Another successful Book Buddies ❤️✨ love seeing these kids emerge as leaders and I even spy a few future educators 👀📚
