This catalog is especially designed to help teachers and parents choose
exciting new reading for their children and young adults.
Our Elementary Education specialist, Sonita Newbury-Schau, has joined
the staff at Parkview. She has completely updated the children’s and young
adult’s sections at both of our locations. She was a teacher in the area and has 2
young children who are avid readers. Her passion in reading is teen literature.
She will be doing research and stocking fun new titles.
We hope this will help you make decisions of what to put in your class-
room. We understand that with the time demands put on today’s teachers, it
leaves little opportunity to keep up with the latest titles. Let us do your research.
You can call us for a private appointment with Sonita, or plan a teacher
outing with a few friends. We can meet with you and help stock your classroom or
library in the most efficient way possible.
