RIS Libraries March Activities

March Madness

ES Students Vote in the Tournament of Books in the Elizabeth Library!

The Elizabeth Library celebrates the POP “Critical Thinking” and Student Choice by having a Tournament of Books! Every day during March, ES Students are invited to come to the library before or after school, during recess, or milk break to vote on their favorite books! 

“See the Book Bracket posted on the outside library window, and come back daily to see who won the last round!” shares Head Librarian Ms. Natalie Rector. “There are 16 books, and there will be 4 rounds of voting. So far, students have voted a total of 202 times. These 16 books were chosen because they are among the top 50 books checked out this year—and they have all been checked out 20 (or more) times!”
