Guess what! You can write in these books! When you check out a ‘Margin Project’ book, feel free to write notes and thoughts, or draw things in the margins or between lines as you read. What were your favorite or least favorite parts? Put hearts, underline, highlight or circle parts you loved. Let us know any other thoughts you might have had!
Reading can be social too. If you want, try keeping all of your additions in one colored pen. Future readers will see that all of your notes, doodles, and thoughts are from the same perspective.
When you return the book, the next reader will be able to see all of the notes you added, add their own, and respond to yours. Feel free to come back later in the year and check out the same book to see the new additions to it.
