⚠️ A Special Note: LIT Center Closure

The Library Innovation Technology (LIT) Center will be closed next year due to campus renovations.

This is our final opportunity—this school year—to experience the space in its current form. We encourage all students and staff to take advantage of the LIT Center while it is open.

🎯 Finish Strong

This final phase is about:

• Completing what we started

• Returning materials responsibly

• Celebrating a year of reading, growth, and community

In the West, we read.
Ink to thought. Thought to deed.
Pages turn. Warriors lead.

🎉 Visibility & Celebration

Reading is celebrated publicly and joyfully through:

Posters and signage

School announcements and shout-outs

Classroom visits with “Show Me Your Books!” signs

Recognition of participation and enthusiasm

These moments are designed to be quick, fun, and affirming—not evaluative.

🧑🏽‍🏫 Classroom Flexibility

Teachers choose how reading fits best in their classrooms:

Short daily reading moments

Weekly reading blocks

Start- or end-of-class reading

There is no single required structure—flexibility and sustainability are key.

📖 The Role of the LIT Center

The LIT Center supports the campaign by:

Hosting class visits for book discovery and checkout

Curating high-interest, culturally relevant, bilingual, and low-barrier texts

Offering rotating opportunities for students to encounter new books

Using student and staff feedback to guide ongoing book purchasing

❤️ Why It Matters

Show Me Your Books! is about more than reading time—it’s about:

Belonging and identity

Student choice and agency

Modeling lifelong reading

Making literacy joyful and visible across campus

This campaign is a collective effort, shaped by staff input and centered on student experience.
