THE BOOK QUEEN The Book Queen visits classes in the lower school letting children check out “Book Queen Books.” These books are checked out separately of library books and may be returned to the Book Queen (Mrs. Sewell) when finished. There will be small prizes awarded to those children that complete the Book Queen Report and return it to the Library. This is an optional activity to promote reading and can coincide with their regular 20-30 minutes of reading per night.
