High School Summer Reading Book Groups
Every summer Windham High School assigns books that students must read for the upcoming school year. This year the Nesmith Library will be offering book groups for the 9th and 11th grade titles. We will discuss important themes and provide support constructing your report. We will also have FUN.
Each session will be 1 1/2 hrs long.
Sign up for the title you need to read.
