It’s sad, but true: summer is coming to an end. It’s time to put away those beach chairs, say goodbye to days spent by the pool, and get ready for the new school year ahead. To gear up for going back to school, The North Bergen Public Library has put together a themed book list featuring books all about school. Some are about the first days of school, and others simply take place in a school. Whatever the case may be, there will be a book on this list that will get you ready and excited about going to school this September!
