This year Comal ISD has a district-wide subscription to Beanstack, a digital reading log. It allows students to keep track of their reading goals, minutes read, and books finished. Once a student logs into ClassLink, it is an app found in their "Library Resources" folder, which is a white heart on a turquoise background. We are using it this year not only for reading goal badges but also our Lone Star Reading Challenge badges. The kids are loving it, and we are seeing that students are reading more this year! We will hold a Beanstacker celebration with prizes and ice cream sandwiches the afternoon of Wed., May 13th.

We placed 2nd in the annual Travis Lamb Memorial Name That Book competition this year. It was a great
battle. Congrats to the SVMS team!
Our annual end of year Lone Star party will take place in May also. The date will be Monday, May 18, in the afternoon. Any student reading at least 5 Lone Stars and completing the reporting requirements in Beanstack by May 1st will be invited to our party, which includes an afternoon of board games, prize drawings, and ice cream!
Did someone say digital books? We have SORA, an Overdrive program, for access to our district ebooks & audiobooks! Currently available for all CISD secondary school students. 6th, 7th, & 8th graders will have access to elementary and middle school resources. Check with your parents for permission before checking out books using Sora.
You may access Sora by logging into your ClassLink account and clicking on the Sora icon. Or download the app on your smart device. See directions below.
Need book suggestions? Lone Stars are always a good choice. Check out Ms. Lamb's Lone Star book trailers. Many of these titles are available in SORA in ebook and/or audiobook format as well as in the CMS library.
Library hours 7:50am to 4:30pm on school days.
Students may check out 3 items at a time for 3 weeks.
Books that are not reserved by other students are able to be renewed one time for an additional 3 weeks.
