Hafa Adai, Friends of the Library and Roadrunner Patrons! Welcome to Vicente S.A. Benavente Middle School Library’s Website. Our goal is to promote reading and information literacy standards throughout the school year. We have many library events in the coming months and we earnestly encourage our students to inquire and participate in our events. Despite, the many challenges with a small and limited budget, we will continue to provide the best services to YOU, our roadrunner patrons. We hope that you’ll find this website informative and useful for you. We look forward to an exciting year with many learning and fun activities for our patrons. Happy Reading! Mrs. Togawa
