Painted Sky Neighborhood Readers
Painted Sky Neighborhood Readers is a group of students who meet twice a month to learn more about the library and all that is available in the library. The goal of this group, in addition to learning about the library and all areas of the library, is to be ambassadors for all the students at Painted Sky and to help Mrs. Althouse make the library the best it can be for all.
