Exciting Addition to the ICS Library!
June 1, 2011
Through an ALA public programs grant, we were able to add the following books and materials to our collection. In addition to being used by teachers to enhance our existing curricula, these books will be available for borrowing by students for summer reading, research projects/papers during the school year, and reading for enjoyment (any time of year). We are so proud to be one of just 7 school libraries in Philadelphia to receive this fantastic collection. Please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you are interested in borrowing any of these materials.
