Talkabout Thursdays have started in the library during lunch!

11/15/2019

This is a great opportunity for students to discuss books and topics in a variety of ways: Discussions are encouraged about books and censorship during banned books week to anything ranging from discussing a particular genre to discussing an issue in the media such as climate change. Adults are also welcome to come for discussions - please contact the librarian Erin Sterling at emsterling@seattleschools.org.

Students are welcomed to drink hot chocolate or herbal tea during Talkabout Thursdays so we are looking for donations of hot chocolate, decaffeinated tea, and/or reusable coffee mugs with a lid.

Bring your conversations and hot beverages to the library. See you soon!
