There was a murder...IN THE LIBRARY?! We had a great time the week of Halloween helping build inferencing skills, alongside our understanding of diction & tone, with English 1 as they investigated the scene of the crime. #katylibraries #ilovemortonranch

If you've walk by the library lately, you might have noticed it was a little full, maybe even chaotic. But the numbers don't lie: there's a method to our madness!

It has been a BUSY kick-off to the 25-26 school year in the library, and today was a perfect example as we juggled 3 activities (sometimes simultaneously!) in our space. All this while having normal library business 💜#ilovemortonranch

We are very pleased to share that Ms. Gruen & Ms. Palmer's WWII virtual book tasting was a runner up in the classroom category of the Sora School Stars Competition! Which means we've won credit to buy EVEN. MORE. EBOOKS & AUDIOBOOKS! for our Maverick readers! #ilovemortonranch

Book #2 of the MRHS Staff bookclub was a wild ride, and while opinions varied, we can all agree on this: Dawn's friends are the WORST. Can't wait to get this crew back together next month for our final read of the year! #ilovemortonranch

Couldn't do it if I weren't at the greatest school with the greatest coworkers & students! 💜

Happy School Library Month AND School Librarian Day! Here's a snapshot of what we've done August through March at the Ranch, with more fun activities, good memories, and EXCELLENT books to come! @MRHSMavericks @katy_libraries

Our first staff book club pick of the year was THE MEASURE by Nikki Erlick, & our afternoon was filled with great discussion over this thought-proking book. We can't wait to see what our next read will be 💜 #ilovemortonranch #katylibraries

Another day of livestock show! This one bring Ms. G RIGHT back to her roots--it's goat & sheep show day! #katylibraries #ilovemortonranch #throwback

We couldn't start winter break without honoring a request from one of our library regulars: come out & support him at his soccer game! #ilovemortonranch

I was very tempted to ask for book reports at the next meeting 😂 so many good books in the exchange today!

We missed snagging a group photo (next time!), but in our defense, we were too caught up in the book joy! It was so fun kicking off our staff book club with a book exchange today. Our adult #MaverickReaders have excellent taste, & full TBRs for the winter break! #ilovemortonranch
