Let’s set our students up for success together!
✨ Be Prepared. Be Focused. Be an Eagle. ✨

These high-interest reads are: 🔥 Leading our checkout charts 🏆 Helping decide our Battle of the Books winners 💬 Getting more students excited about reading
And honestly… we LOVE to see it 💛
📸 Check out our students in action—reading, exploring, and finding books they truly enjoy!
💻 Want access anytime, anywhere? Students can also read through Sora! 👉 https://soraapp.com/library/worcestermd

With warmer weather here, we want to remind everyone how important it is for students to stay hydrated throughout the day!
Please make sure your child brings a water bottle to school each day—hydration helps with focus, energy, and overall health. 💙
Let’s work together to keep our Eagles feeling their best as the temperatures rise!
Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay ready to learn! 🦅💛

Each week, we’ll be highlighting something special from our school library — and this week, we’re kicking things off by the numbers! 📊
It’s no secret… librarians LOVE a good statistic (yes math people, we see you 😄).
Why? Because these numbers help us understand:
📖 What students are reading
📈 Trends across our school
💻 How our digital collection is being used
🎯 And how we can better meet the needs of our learners in real time
Every checkout, click, and visit tells a story — and helps us grow a library that works for YOU.
🌈📚 Take a look at these stats… you don’t have to take our word for it!
