This month, Hauppauge Middle School’s very own Book Ambassadors Club started a rolling library to support their weekly DEAR time! DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time gives students 20 minutes each week to read a book of their choice during advisory.
The students have filled three carts with book donations from the community and staff. Students in the club bring books directly to advisory classrooms twice a week, making reading more accessible than ever!
Stocked with a diverse selection of novels and nonfiction, the cart travels through the hallways, offering students and teachers the chance to discover new reads without having to visit the library. The staff is included too! The Book Ambassadors have left a cart for the adults in the faculty room.
So far, more than 30 students and teachers have checked out books, showing just how much excitement the mobile library has sparked. The Book Ambassadors are helping to foster a love of reading throughout HMS!
