Yesterday’s author visit with Cecilia Mainord at the VLC was great fun. The kids loved meeting the author & learning that the author is a former Visalian!

Whether it is class visits, flex time during recess/lunch or after school makerspace time, we believe our school libraries should be open, accessible & student-centered. Thank you Goshen, Denton, Riverway , and MK for having that on display today & always!
