Parent Teacher Conferences / St. Paris Public Library
The St. Paris public library will be here in the third grade pod during parent teacher conferences to show a display of their services, as well as sign your child up for a library card if they want/need one. Visiting the public library can really help boost your child’s interest in reading by giving them choices and freedom to read what they are interested in. If you have a child who is hesitant to read at home or doesn’t have many books to hold their interest, I hope that you will take this opportunity to learn more about the public library and maybe even sign up for a card!
