The library has several new fiction and non fiction books ready to be checked out.  From the latest Harry Potter book to the most recent Guinness World Record book we have something for everyone. Stop by to pick up a good read!

An up-to-date overdue list has been posted in the library window. Please check to make sure you do not have any outstanding library books and remember to return library books on time!

Some of our book fair profits are in and ready to be signed out!! There is something for everyone so be sure to stop by the library and check out the great selection of books!  Also please remember to return your library books before second semester begins.

Book Fair Success!

Thank you to all the students, staff, administration, and SCA school community who came out and supported our 12th annual Scholastic Book Fair during the last full week of November. Our Marvel themed fair raised just over $2000!  The SCA library will be able to obtain $900 worth of new books for our collection as a result. Thank you for your support!

The SCA library is changing it up this year! Stop by and see our new lay out - we have a cool new developing Makerspace area, reading corner, and work space for classes doing research.  Create with lego or building kits in the Makerspace. Maybe try your hand at knitting or origami.  Perhaps you have an artistic side- we have sketchpads, pencils, and books all ready to assist you in your creations. Into electronics? Our newest edition to the area includes some old laptop keyboards - dissect away and see if you can pick them apart and put them back together! The library has also begun planning for our annual Book Fair! Our next meeting is this Thursday during junior and senior lunch - please stop by if you are interested in helping out.  Currently we are awaiting the arrival of a new book order - hopefully these new titles will be here soon! Stay tuned for Makerspace and Book Fair updates as well as the arrival of some great new reads!
