Welcome to The Aerie, BMS' Library!

Taking a journey, one book at a time!

BMS students are embarking on a quest to become better, more selective readers. Come back regularly to watch our 6th graders build their home bases, our 7th graders expand their horizons, and our 8th graders stretch their boundaries through reading. We hope to celebrate all this reading at the end of the year at the ReaderQuest Festival!

7th grade students take part in a book tasting.

Seventh grade students take part in a book tasting--a kind of speed-dating for books in which students get to explore genres they might not have read before. Several students requested Mrs. Ray hold books for them until after the book tasting so that they could get to know them a little better. The book-tasting was so successful that Mrs. Quattlebaum's students continued it in class, reading their selections out loud to classmates.

This is our book counter.

About Mrs. Ray

Mrs. Ray

Hello! I'm Heather Ray and I'm so excited to be the librarian at Byron Middle! I've been in education in one way or another for the last 24 years, but being a librarian is my dream job. I love connecting middle schoolers with books and offering them a safe and welcoming environment to explore different ways to become thinkers and creators. We're working hard to make The Aerie the best library in middle Georgia. When not at school, I love reading, gardening, crafting, and spending time with my husband Will, our two children, Jeffrey and River, our dog, LilyBlue, and our cats Juno and Lyra. Please reach out at heather.ray@peachschools.org with any questions or needs.
