February Reading Challenge

Your library is challenging all students and staff to take the February Reading Challenge Pledge to "Celebrate Black Voices!"

By taking the pledge, you agree to read at least one work (book, poem, article, or speech) written by a Black author, about a significant Black person, or about an event impacting Black lives. Read these directions for help getting to the collections. Our hope is that the whole Barker family will participate during the month of February.

STEP 3:  Read something that meets the criteria!
