I know those of you who have been to the library recently have been able to see lots of new books that arrived this fall while we were remote learning. But even more new books have arrived recently. I haven’t had a chance to get those ready for checkout just yet, but I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek of what’s new!
So I made a video unpacking two boxes of new books that just arrived! To watch the video, visit the Seward Elementary Library website. And email me if you want to place a hold on any of these new books.

Please note: These books will not show up in Alexandria Researcher just yet because I am still working on them. The best way to let me know you’re interested in checking one out is to email me. They will be in Researcher hopefully by next week.
