students attend mjhs lunch in the library

Eating lunch in the library? That's the daily routine that students are EMPOWERED to take part in at Marion Junior High.

"Students can come in and read, hang out, talk, work on homework, or just chill," said Amy Simmons, library media specialist at MJHS.

Simmons just restarted the program for the new school year and is already having great success. "Students can sign up at the beginning of the day, and bring their lunch into the library with me during their lunch period," explained Simmons.

Students we spoke with are excited about the opportunity to be able to read books they enjoy on their own time frame.
