Public School Libraries
by Anderson, Terri 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

I work for a Northern Michigan Public School library and I am wondering if anyone has received any feedback on how/if other public schools are doing library when school goes back in session this year. I know that moving students throughout the school is being eliminated as much as possible. Looking for any thoughts or suggestions on how we can get books into our students lives!!
