Library Lucky Ducks Flyer by Maeve Schultz

Have you ever thought about how lucky we are to have amazing school libraries in Newton Public Schools?  Many schools across the country, even in Massachusetts, do not have school libraries.  This means they do not have access to a diverse and current collection of books, ebooks, audiobooks, databases, a certified Library Teacher and more. This challenge will help our community celebrate our Library and the Day Middle School Community's love of reading! 

Special thanks to the following:

The Day PTO for funding a grant that paid for the Day Library Lucky Ducks Challenge and for Day swag for prizes!
