The storybook pumpkins made by @ES_Farine students and families are absolutely incredible! We had over 130 entries this year! These pumpkins make the library so fun and festive! @IrvingLibraries @IrvingISD

[Sandra Plascensia @MrsPlascensia]

The @LivelyEagles did an amazing job on our first ever Storybook tissue box challenge. We had 61 entries and a whole lot of creativity! The great thing about tissue boxes is that they make great decorations in the library and we can use the tissues too. @IrvingLibraries
