Mrs. Simpson's Preschool students who are heading off to Kindergarten soon stopped by our school library today. They got to meet Mrs. Harlow and Mrs. Wright, our school librarians. The students got a tour of the library and got to listen to a few stories. They were amazed at how many books the library had available. They can't wait to visit the school library next year in Kindergarten!
