This is the list sent home with students in the final report card. All of these books can be found on our
HCS Digital Library...so they can be checked out over the summer (or year round) to your own digital devices. You can find the instructions for using the HCS Digital Library on the tab above.
But these books can also be found in paper form in the Jefferson County Public Library Cooperative...
