Happy ❄️ days! Hope you have a stockpile of books to keep you warm, and if not, there's always Sora or Libby! Start reading and tracking those books because PLD library is back with the 25 in '25 challenge! Read 25 books this year, track them, and let Mrs. Faris know when you're done! Prizes for all who finish, but the first student and staff finisher get a $25 gift card! (Physical tracking sheets available in the library, or you can use Storygraph or Goodreads). We had 23 staff members and 12 students finish the 24 in '24 Challenge! Way to read, Bulldogs!

Full circle moment: when your former student (and Dunbar Alumni) is a 3x published author who comes to share her knowledge of writing & the publishing world and her love for YA romance with budding student authors and voracious romance readers at the PLD Library! Thanks for visiting, Kaitlyn, and for all the laughs. So proud of you! (Peep her bulldog shirt--she is truly all in on 1600!) Check out her newest YA book, Wild About You, an enemies to lovers romance that takes place during a camping/hiking reality show competition, and her other books: Not Here to Stay Friends and Love From Scratch, all available in the PLD Library and at local bookstores like Joseph Beth. 💜 📖 ✍️ 🐶
