Hello UMS! I miss you all, and I'm hoping that you are safe and well at home. However, I'm grateful that we're able to continue sharing our reading adventures online. I'll be sharing posting weekly with ideas to connect you to not just books, but also information and fun. Please feel free to reach out to me at my school email address ([email protected]) or through our community Flipgrid below with questions or suggestions for our library community.

To kick off our Flipgrid chat, I hopped over to EpicReads! (Harper Collins' YA Literature resource which has TONS of book recommendations), and took the quiz: Are You a Hero or AntiHero? Watch the Flipgrid tutorial, and take the quiz at Epic Reads, and share your reaction to the quiz in our Flipgrid boards!
