Welcome to the Scobee Library
Dial-A-Story
We are excited to share a wonderful new initiative from our Library Services team...Dial-A-Story! By calling 830-355-6455, families can enjoy a short story read aloud each week in English or Spanish. It’s a fun and easy way to make reading part of everyday life, whether you’re at home, in the car, or winding down for the evening.
Teachers can also bring Dial-A-Story into their classrooms as a quick, engaging read-aloud or listening activity to spark discussion and inspire a love of stories. This is another creative example of how Southwest ISD continues to make literacy accessible, joyful, and community-wide.
Library Displays
During the month of March, we celebrate Women's History Month and National Reading Month. To expose students to a variety of text formats, our Genre of the Month is short stories.
