T
he Argyle ISD libraries may be empty right now, but our librarians are working hard behind the scenes for our students and teachers. In an effort to celebrate School Library Month in April, each campus created a month of activities for families to enjoy at home during the month of April. These calendars have been shared through social media and websites to encourage students to stay involved with reading and library activities. Please follow us!
