And 8th graders moving on to Essex High School: you have access to their amazing library! The EHS Library will be open Monday through Thursday, July 5-28 from 8 AM - 3 PM. They'll also be open Tuesdays and Thursdays in August (August 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 18) from 8 AM - 3 PM. Side note: it's air-conditioned, so if you need a place to literally chill out, this is a great option! It's also a great way to spend some time at EHS before it's full of kids again.
