The Phoenix Landing Library has much to offer. It’s open from the beginning to the end of the school day, including lunch. Many of our students go there to not just relax but hang out as well. The library contains many categories of books including science fiction, thrillers, fantasy, romance, sports, scary, historical fiction, and even comic books.

“Generally, I like the book better, but there are a lot of movies I like.” –sophomore Mckenzie Hall

“I like books better because they give me a chance to think and use my imagination. Movies are nice if I’m just tired but overall books because I like how it’s thought provoking.” –sophomore Adalynn Hall

Movies and TV shows are great and often make people overlook books. The pages of a book can take you on a rollercoaster of imagination. It’s understandable why most people don’t like reading much, but some books can catch our attention and even work their way up on our own book list.

“The Book of Mormon and Percy Jackson”-sophomore Mckenzie Hall

“Heroes of Olympus, it’s a sequel series to the series Percy Jackson” –sophomore Adalynn Hall

Percy Jackson is a very popular series and is a great read. Reading helps us in many ways, and we can see that with our students too.

“I think it helps me with grammar and writing. I’m pretty good at putting thoughts down on paper because of how much I read. I also think it helps with empathy, I think I’m more empathetic by reading different stories.”-sophomore Adalynn Hall

“It helps me understand more about different cultures and things like that. Learning different languages also helped me” –sophomore Mckenzie Hall

Books are for everybody, sometimes they may not seem like it, especially if you’re little, but it is very important. Reading improves our comprehension, and unlike other skills, this takes time. It’s true that you can’t learn complex math concepts in one night, but reading is on a whole different level when it comes to practice. Reading teaches you more skills than you’ll realize.
