ONE DAY LEFT!
A well-funded school library can make all the difference in a student's education. From books to tech resources, our library gives every child an equal chance to succeed. Please consider donating to our TitleWish fundraiser campaign (https://www.titlewish.com/1096205) so that every child can have access to the opportunities they deserve.
Summer is the perfect time to nurture a love for reading! To help your child stay engaged and continue learning during the break, we encourage you to sign them up for an Aiken County Public Library card.
A library card gives your child free access to countless books, audiobooks, and fun summer reading programs that make learning exciting all summer long.
Public library card applications are now available in our school library.
Encourage your child to stop by and pick up an application before the end of the school year!
Let’s work together to build lifelong readers—one book at a time.
TWO DAYS LEFT! And, 25% of the way to our goal!
For many students, the school library is where they discover their love of reading, explore new subjects, and learn important life skills. But our space needs funding to keep our collection relevant and to provide access to the resources on which our students rely.
You can help ensure every student at Millbrook has access to a well-funded, well-stocked library by donating to our TitleWish fundraiser campaign at: https://www.titlewish.com/1096205

She’ll be teaming up with Assistant Principal Terra van der Linden and Principal Jacque Osteen to form our brand-new Trio Administration Team — and we know great things are ahead!

Did you know our library has a pumpkin plant? The next time you are at the school come by and check it out!
"Pumpkin Jack" came about after we read a book by the same name. We have observed the pumpkin go through the decomposition process and are now excited to see lots of new pumpkin sprouts poking through the soil. In collaboration with Aiken High School's FFA, we will learn and determine our next steps so that we can continue to observe the life cycle of a pumpkin plant.
