Our visit with R.J. Palacio, the author of WONDER!

On Monday, February 10th 50 students & staff members from DFT (as well as 50 staff & students from all other RRISD schools, elementary - high school) attended an event at the Round Rock Sports Center which featured author, R.J. Palacio - the author of WONDER

It was an exciting event in which Ms. Palacio told us a lot about her life, and how she came up with the book WONDER, what her inspirations were and what her next steps are! Read more about her and answers to similar questions that she covered here.

You mean there are other books besides WONDER?

Now that the Bluebonnet voting is over, you might be WONDERing what else you should read. RRISD's One Book One Community Initiative is all year long so you should STILL Read it Forward, if you haven't... BUT there are lots of other interesting books out there too.

The new Bluebonnet Books for 2014-2015 have been announced and there are some GREAT selections!!! Keep on the look out for new, fun technology in the library to help you interact with, and learn more about, these new books!

And as always, stop by the library and ask us for suggestions! 



The votes are in!!!

WE CHOSE KIND!!!!!


... Now what will the rest of the state choose?
