The Last Book

Shanghai American School Puxi campus is beginning its renovation of the Secondary Library! 31,000 books were packed up and sent to storage, 2,500 books were moved into our new Pop-Up Library or into classroom collections, and 2,000 books are currently, well, right where they should be: checked out and being read.

Last week we celebrated as the last book officially moved to our cozy new Pop-Up Library. The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, made its journey of 283 high schooler steps (312 middle schooler steps) by being passed, person by person, to its new shelf. For now. Our incredible state-of-the-art library is set to be completed for Fall 2018.
