Here are  some more books available on Amazon that you could add to your collection.

Disclaimer – I have not read all of these books so I cannot speak to their appropriateness for a K-12 Christian School library. I encourage librarians to read the books before making a purchasing decision.

I choose to share them because they sound interesting. If you read them, let me know what you think.

Library’s always need book marks. Here are some printable bookmarks available in my Etsy shop.
