Here is what’s new in the Willow Park School Learning Commons

Happy Lunar New Year!  

2025 is the year of the snake. This holiday begins on Wednesday January 29 this year and is a holiday that changes from year to year. What animal are you most like? Do you know what animal it was when you were born? This time of year is when many countries including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Vietnam, and Korea begin spring festivals that celebrate the new year.

Take a look at our Lunar New Year Display! See what animal year it was when you were born and grab a book while you’re at it. We have taken the time to gather a collection of books that reflect the people and communities that celebrate this holiday. There are always more than just the books on display that feature our diverse communities.

Happy New Year!

Welcome back, students and staff! It's great to see you all again.

Happy New Year! 2025 is going to be a great year! 

We're going to read so many books! Please remember to add a bead to our bottle for every book you've read, had read to you, or listened to. I know you have questions.

Does it have to be a school library book? Nope! 

Does that book you read to your younger sibling last night count? It sure does! 

What if it's a really thick book? If it's the size of two regular sized books, put in two beads! I trust you to be fair. 

Come on in to the Learning Commons and choose a book! We have Snow Many Good Books!
