Is one of your goals this year to read more?

That’s great, because reading for pleasure 

has so many great benefits, both for 

your academic sucess and for your

mental health. 


When you finish a book, add that information here: RESOLVE TO READ FORM. (You may need to request access.) Let’s see how many books S.V. High School students and staff can read before spring. (You can add any book you have read between December, 21, 2024 and February 28, 2025.) Need an extra reason to join this reading event? I will donate $1 for every book read to the Broome County Humane Society. Let's see if we can beat last years' total of 98.




Attention Students and Teachers:
 

-Do you have any questions about finding information?
 
-Do you want to borrow print or eBooks? 
 
-Looking for a book recommendation?
 
Contact Ms. Westgate, Librarian 
 
(I check my email frequently.)
 
 

Don't have time to get to the 
Library? Use this FORM to request 
a book & it will be delivered to you.
