GERMAN MARATHON READING

It becomes a tradition that the German language teachers together with our library, organize the Marathon.
We started since 2006, and become a custom, but this time we organized in January the 26th and not in Christmas as usual we did. And the students had to pass a preselection before they could come to present their favorite books in our library.
We think that it was a real success. At the end each reader received a gift from our school library.

Our school library thanks to the teachers for the collaboration!
