Summer Reading
 

An ongoing Author Program has become a rich, exciting part of the Library Program at Duchesne. It has enabled our students to meet some of the most prestigious authors, illustrators, and poets creating books for children and young adults today. Through presentations, small group workshops, and autographing opportunities, the girls have been encouraged to share their own thoughts about literature and writing. Their pride and enthusiasm in having the authors they love visit them on campus and personally assist them with their writing has been a great gift.
