New Books!
Hopefully coming soon to the PRMS Library!
The Lone Star Reading List encourages reading for pleasure and is aimed at students in grades 6-8. Each year, up to 30 books—exploring a variety of topics, reading tastes, and maturity levels—are chosen by a committee of school and public librarians from across Texas.
We would like to get as many of these new books into our library. If you would like to help make that happen, please check out our Bound to Stay Bound PRMS Library Wishlist to donate a book.
