Take a Selfie with Your Book!
Take a Selfie with Your Book!
Students and staff are having a ton of fun with the "Selfie Station" in the library, where they can capture images of themselves with books they are currently reading or that they have enjoyed. The photos are displayed in the library, along with some "staff pick" book reviews. Fun + smiles + books! Creating joy around books and making reading social are subtle but impactful ways to support student literacy.
