Ms. Allison, the SGIS librarian, put together a list of book recommendations that are similar to popular TV shows.

You may have realized by now that Memphis is under quarantine because of  COVID-19, which means many of us are looking for new things to entertain ourselves with. Ms. Allison was kind enough to put together a collection of books and TV Shows that are similar to each other. If you are interested in any of these books, Ms. Allison has made a virtual library available to the school which you can find here. Also, for more up-to-date information about our current situation, check out our Youtube channel.
