Library Materials for Consideration

Before new titles are purchased for Vega school libraries, they are posted here for a 30-day public review period. During that time, families and community members can review titles and submit question or objections using the feedback form below.

**THERE ARE NO BOOKS FOR CONSIDERATION AT THIS TIME.

Families and community members may use this form to submit questions, concerns or objections about specific titles in the "Library Materials for Consideration" section. Submissions are sent to the School Library Advisory Council and district staff for review. Feedback received after the 30-day review period will be considered before SLAC makes it recommendations to the Board.
