This month’s genre for the library’s Journey through the Genre program was romance. If students read a romance book and kept their grades up, they were invited to come to the library and decorate heart-shaped cookies. 

The cookies were fun to decorate and even better to eat! Some students decided to decorate extra cookies and deliver them to deserving teachers.

Next month’s genre is mystery, so find a good book now and start reading.
