Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
                           Joseph Addison

Welcome back to all our students. Since the "Book Clubs" were very successful last year, I have purchased several copies of popular titles.  "Book Club" titles are for all reading levels.   I am also pleased to announce that over the past three years we have added over 1,000 new books to our library.  Through your generous donations, we have increased our circulation of materials to 9,000 available items.  This is possible through the Library Angels Program.  You may make a monetary donation or purchase a book and send it into the library.  A book donor card will be placed inside the book jacket.  You may celebrate someone's birthday or remember a loved one.  Anyone wishing to participate in this program, should contact balbanese@sjsbr.org.  I have a list of the library wish list.  Thank you for your support.
