<p class="MsoNormal">The North Bend Public Library is happy to announce NBHSReads with Ellen Hopkins, #1 New York Times bestselling award winning author! A community reads partnership between the Public Library and the High School, made possible through a grant
 from ALA’s Libraries Transforming Communities. The library was awarded $3000 for the program. We plan to purchase Ms. Hopkins’  books for students to read and share during the month of April which as you know is National Poetry Month. The grant is also making
 it possible to provide two live Zoom discussions between Ellen Hopkins and the students. I was surprised when KVAL emailed for a Zoom interview which aired Monday night! You can view it here:
