Unfortunately, we are no longer able to subscribe to Book Page due to the cuts in our budget. The subscription cost $432 per year for the library to maintain, and due to the loss of more than $22,000 in state aid, we have been forced to cut our budget for materials like this by more than half. However, you can still access Book Page’s content for free at:
