Our Library and Media Center Rocks! 

The South Seneca Middle/High School Library is currently receiving hundreds of middle/high school books from Scholastic and Reading Warehouse. They were purchased with a small amount of the Dollar General Donation money we received last year. We wanted to inspire literacy through reading books: physical ones, ebooks and audiobooks. These high interest books are a small gift to every student in our school to help create a mini library in their homes at the perfect time of the year. Students are allowed to chose 2 books each and the books are sectioned off in 2 groups- middle 6-8 and high school 9-12. After students choose the 2 books they are able to order “a book of their choice” to be available in mid February.

You can follow our library on Instagram @ ssmh_library and Twitter @SSMHS_Library to see all of our contests and latest book releases and be in the KNOW.

Thanks to Mrs. Gale for doing such a wonderful job.
