#PositivePostIts

With everything that has happened in our community over the last month and a half, Miss Maney felt that we needed a little more positivity in our lives. Stop on down to the library to share a message of encouragement to your fellow classmates.

Featured Book

Let It Snow : Three Holiday Romances by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle

"Sparkling white snowdrifts...

Beautiful presents wrapped in ribbons, and multicolored lights glittering in the night through falling snow. A Christmas Eve snowstorm transforms one small town into a romantic haven, the kind you only see in movies. Well, kinda. After all, a cold and wet hike from a stranded train through the middle of nowhere would not normally end with a delicious kiss with a charming stranger. And no one would think that a trip to the Waffle House through four feet of snow would lead to love with an old friend Or that the way back to true love begins with a painfully early morning shift at Starbucks.

Thanks to three of today's best-selling teen authors--John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle--the magic of the holidays shines on these hilarious and charming interconnected tales of love, romance, and breathtaking kisses."
