More photos from Marisa Churchill’s author visit at Hobart Blvd. Elementary, where students enjoyed a day full of fantastical and mysterious stories, and—last but certainly not least—chocolate! Thank you for the sweetest day, Ms. Churchill! 🍫🥰

Last Saturday’s library refurbishment at Esteban E. Torres High School—a highly anticipated refresh we spent weeks prepping for in advance! With about 90 volunteers consisting of our regulars and members of the school community, the displaying of canvases featuring inspirational figures completed by six of the school’s AP art students, and the cataloging and shelving of a brand-new, high-interest collection carefully curated by the school’s teacher librarian, the refurbishment turned out to be an unforgettable event for all in attendance. THANK YOU to our hardworking volunteers and their great turnout, and to the incredibly generous Webster Family Foundation, who made this special day possible 🧡💙 Happy, happy reading, Torres Toros! 📚🐂

Chris Harris’s author visit to Garvanza Elementary Technology and Leadership Magnet, where students delved into the world of creative (and relentlessly silly!) writing through his poetry collection “My Head Has a Bellyache.” Thank you, Mr. Harris, for yet another unforgettable author visit! 💯

Had an absolute blast at Burbank Blvd. Elementary’s refurbishment earlier this month. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the hardworking volunteers who joined us today, the Sandpiper Juniors, and to the Glendale Sustainability Commission for organizing the book drive for classrooms’ and students’ home libraries. Happy, happy reading, Burbank Bees! 📚🐝

Cassandra Federman’s two author visits with us this semester! In April, Columbus Ave. Elementary got to explore the power of storytelling, intertwined with a compelling sibling rivalry, through her graphic novel “Story Spinners.” And, earlier this month, Dixie Canyon Ave Elementary enjoyed her picture book, “Gray Squirrel Loses It!,” chock-full of nature facts and humor. Thank you, Ms. Federman, for a couple of super creative, story-filled days 🥰
