Once you’ve chosen your book, add it to our collective reading slideshow to share what you’re reading with the LHS community. Everyone who adds a book will be entered into a drawing at the end of the month for a chance to win a prize! You can find the booklist and slideshow link on the LHS Library Canvas Page. If you need a copy, check Sora for eBooks and audiobooks, or ask the library about accessing books through the Lincoln Library. Happy reading, LHS—and Paws Up, Pages Out!
