The Social Emotional Library is available for our Queen Anne Elementary community- parents, students and teachers too! These titles are all my favorites, many of which come from the blog, Books That Heal. They cover a wide range of topics including mindfulness, divorce, perseverance, grief, and of course, friendship. The library/bookshelf is located in the hallway across from the library. Make sure to sign them out in the binder. Have any books you would like to donate? Bring them to my office in the wood building, #306 so I can get them logged in. Here are some of the titles available- new titles have just been added as of February 2017! Enjoy!
