Need help finding just the right book? Here are some links to get you started. Please note that since we are a middle school library, not all books on these lists are right for every student. Check the age level recommendations and then a book that is right for you!

For starters... head to the Book Chat Channel on the EMS Library Teams site for hundreds of book suggestions from your fellow Evergreen students!! And, you can always ask the channel champions for suggestions! It is just a great spot to talk about books. :-)

Battle of the Books is a cooperative effort between Inglewood, Rose Hill, Kirkland, Finn Hill, Evergreen, Redmond, International Community, Kamiakin and Timberline Middle Schools. This program allows 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in each school to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. The goal is to encourage students at all reading levels to engage in teamwork while reading some of the best in children’s literature. Challenge questions are based on specific and factual information within the books.

If you are interested in Battle of the Books (AKA: BoB) for this year, we would love to have you join us!!
Please plan to join us at a BoB Meeting once we start doing Flex Time at EMS this year

Do you use Common Sense Media? CSM has always been a great resource to provide age-based media reviews for families for books, movies, apps & technology and more. They now have added some thoughtful coronavirus resources for parents as well. Look for the link on the top-right of the main Parent Resource Page.

Want some reading suggestions for your student during this unexpected time at home? Use the "Ready to Read" tab above for reading suggestions and best books lists.
