EMS & WMS Reading Guide | Summer 2021: Ways to Read this Summer!

Dear East and West Middle School students,

Congratulations on making it through a most unusual school year!  Now it's time to relax and recharge.  Use the tabs at the top of this page to find eBook recommendations by genre for each grade level. 

Although you will turn in your iPads before summer, MackinVIA and Libby can be used on any device with internet.  Both are available as free apps or in your browser.  You can also check out print books from any Scott County Library branch by telling library staff your Virtual Student Library Card number.

Always feel free to request a book recommendation or reach out with any login troubles.  You can also add book titles you've loved this year to our EMS&WMS Student Book Recommendations Padlet.

We wish you a summer filled with fun, relaxation, and of course, READING!  

Take care,

        

Ms. Reishus, Secondary Media Specialist

Ms. Patton, EMS Media Assistant

Mrs. Kealy, WMS Media Assistant
