March Book Madness a collaboration of St. Charles Public Library and D303 Elementary LRC Directors, occurs each March.  Students view videos of D303 staff reading selected stories.  Votes are tallied and the bracket continues to narrow down the 12 books to the final 2.  We encourage families to stop by on Tuesday evenings in March to view the current books up for votes.  Drop-in to the Helen Gale to see who's reading which titles.
