In Chains

Banned Books Week 2018 is September 23-29. It brings together the entire book community in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. The books featured in our Banned Books Week display have all been targeted with removal or restricted in libraries and schools. By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. For more information visit the American Library Association website.

Suggestion Box

We have a new suggestion box in the school library. If you have any suggestions please put them into the box and we will review them. All inquires are welcome. 

Someone once suggested we get a 3D printer. Guess what? We bought one!

There Are Two Sides to Every Story

Mepham Library Bulletin Board

Can you think of any books that tell a story from more than one perspective? Stop by to add that book to our latest bulletin board.

Reading Nook

Thanks to a very generous donation from alumnus Mark Mobius, class of 1954, we were able to purchase items for our first ever reading nook. The new comfy chairs and end tables were a big hit here at Mepham on the first day of school. We had been looking for ways to create separate, yet cohesive spaces in the library to accommodate all of our patrons. Students had been asking for "soft seating." We wanted to design a space that was inviting and would foster communication and collaboration. Looks like we accomplished that goal! The chairs and tables can be moved around to create many different configurations depending on the needs of our students and teachers.

New library seating

Thank you so much Mr. Mobius for helping to make our vision a reality. Alumnus, Lance Blackshaw serves as an ongoing liaison between the alumni and our school, making these special projects come to life. Mepham's class of 1954 continues to be a prominent source of funding for our school library.

Our mission is to promote an environment that is warm and welcoming for everyone. The school library is the hub of our school community and serves many functions. Students come here to learn, create, read, interact, socialize, and so much more. We will continue to provide them with unique opportunities and resources with the help of our alumni and community partners.

Kiki, do you love me?
