So excited to have this back! Tons of new titles for all ages. Cookbooks, sports, fiction, history, craft kits, holiday items, and more! Great gift ideas. The fair is open to the community.

Welcome to the STEAM Lab!

[Byron School District Libraries @226LibraryLove]

STEAM Lab is open! Classes are getting the chance to see what’s in the lab. We heard lots of great feedback from the kids. My favorites so far are “WOW! Just Wow!” and “That maker cart is right up my alley!”

The school libraries are so proud of our BHS Tigers! Apparently, so is our MM Library elf, Jingles! Such a naughty elf! He returned today with a bunch of items he “borrowed” from BHS to show our “Little Tigers” how proud he is of all our “Big Tigers”! We are full of Tiger Pride!

The Byron school libraries are extra thankful this month. We would not be the same without our amazing BHS Achieve program workers or our dedicated volunteer, Sue Voiles! Thank you for all you do for our libraries!

We have received postcards from several places in the U. S. And also from Stockholm and Scotland! If you would like to send us a postcard telling us about your adventures we would love it!!! You can send them to: Mary Morgan Students, 420 N Colfax St., Byron, IL 61010, USA

The theme in the Mary Morgan Library is Adventures in Reading with a focus on where reading can take us. I asked everyone to share my posts with family and friends in hopes of getting postcards from all over the world and I am so excited to say they have started arriving!
