With school now closed through the end of the school year, you might be wondering "What do I do with my Lawrence School library books?" Here's the answer:
- Read them.
- Read them again! To your dog....or your brother....or your sister....or your goldfish!
- Then find a safe place for them. Someplace you'll remember when we go back to school. It might be a bag, a box, or a shelf.
- Please try to keep them separate from the books that you own.
- Plan to bring them back when we go back to Lawrence!
- Thank you! I appreciate your care with our library books!

The Orphan Band of Springdale by Anne Nesbet
It's 1941 and Gusta is sent from New York City to Maine to live in an orphanage run by her grandmother. Her father has disappeared and all she has left to remind her of her former life with him is her french horn. As she gets to know the orphans and searches for a coin-like wish that her grandfather left somewhere in town, Gusta may be on the brink of revealing a long-hidden family secret.
