MsBoox and Marina want to hear about the books you are reading, AND give you "stamps" for your Reading Bingo Challenge!
You can contact either one of us.
email MsBoox at: jbrooks@sccs.net
email Marina at: marinafitch@sccs.net
You can still become a Reading Savage! We can't wait to hear from you :)
Due to the COVID-19 closure, the B40 Middle School library is not imposing a limit on book check-out. As of 3/13/20, students were able to check out as many books as they needed to see them through our school closure. Please keep track of your books, take care of your books, and bring them all back in good condition. The library loves you. --MsBoox and Marina

"The Branciforte Middle School Library is a safe space where all students are encouraged to learn, explore, reflect and create. We read to increase empathy, expand understanding, and develop as critical thinkers, consumers, and producers of content. Teachers and librarians collaborate to strengthen 21st Century skills across the curriculum and ensure that students are prepared for high school, college, and career. "
