Why do YOU like your library?

We asked the students at AHS what they thought.  We got wonderful responses and heart-attacked our door!

Up for a challenge at AHS?


Try a blind date with a book!  It has been such a sucess we will do it one more week!  Come choose book.  All you have to do is:
1. Open AFTER you leave the library.
2. Try AT LEAST one chapter.
3. Don't judge by the cover :)
 




An awesome way AMS promotes reading!

Way to go 6th grade team!!!

Who likes the new AMS library decor? I love it!
