Notes From the B.F. Day Library
Sometimes it can be difficult to strike up conversations with children around big topics like civil rights and racism. Visit the B.F. Day Library page for a list of some books you might want to check out around these themes.

The Global Reading Challenge is a reading incentive program for 4th and 5th graders enrolled in Seattle Public Schools. Students form teams, read selected books, then take part in a trivia competition. This is such a great opportunity for our readers.
Some of the benefits include:
- Promoting a love of reading
- Introducing students to a wide variety of literature, perspectives, and voices
- Encouraging kids to participate in a team activity
This year, we have 10 (yes you read that right!), teams going on a Global Reading Challenge adventure. We will practice trivia questions in the months of December-February to prepare for B.F. Day’s competition. The winner from B.F. Day moves on to the semi-finals downtown! Learn more about the program or this year’s books on the SPL site!
