Hello Centennial!

It’s our 2nd annual Edible Book Contest!

Library Club members have made Edible Book projects which are now on display in the Library. They would like Students AND Staff to vote for their favorite.


Students may visit with their Homeroom Classes, as directed by Homeroom Teachers. Students may also visit the library on their own during passing periods, at lunch, or before or after school and cast a ballot whenever they have an opportunity.

Centennial Eagles may also vote online using this link:

Edible Books 2024 Voting Form


Again, Library Club members want all staff to vote too. So feel free to drop by the library yourselves, or vote online.

* A special note of thanks to Mrs. Dillinger who so graciously allowed students to bake their cakes at school using her room’s facilities. The students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity.

We’re hoping to make this an annual event as a fun way to celebrate Books!

2024 Centennial Junior High School Book Fair!

Our Spring Book Fair starts on Friday, March 1st, and runs for two weeks, through Friday, March 15th.

This is a bit different kind of fair. It’s Called “Love My Library”.

Students make accounts online and get people to donate. 50% of donations go to help out the library; 50% go to students who then spend their donations at an online store. Then the library delivers their purchases.

Look for more information online – school website and on Centennial’s facebook page. Plus, homeroom teachers shall be handing out flyers. You can also ask the librarian for further details.


Your involvement makes a difference. Please help support our Love My Library Book Fair by making a donation and asking friends and family to do the same.

January 2024

Welcome to a new calendar year!

New at Centennial this January: Book Clubs in the Library.

Students in each grade are encouraged to sign up for Book Club. Groups shall meet every other Monday, starting the 22nd, during each grade level’s lunch period. Students may bring their lunch to the library where a guest Librarian from the Natrona County Public Library will facilitate the club. We’ll discuss reading and literature, sharing ideas all around. Each student gets a free copy of the chosen book to keep!

We look forward to the wonderful venture in your School Library!

November 2023

Library Club is back in session.

We’ll be in session 2nd quarter and 4th quarter. (We might even decide to have it during 3rd quarter. We’ll just have to see.)

Be sure to drop by the library and sign up.

Thank you!

Centennial Junior High School participated in Wyoming Libraries Snapshot Day – 2023.

Eagles who obtained parental permission were able to have their photographs taken.

Patrons also shared their thoughts on why the library is important to them.

Here’s a link Snapshot Day’s main page:

Comments from Students and Staff:

Why is the Library important to you?

  • Because it keeps me reading.
  • It provides a safe space to explore.
  • It’s nice and quiet. It also holds a wide variety of books to read.
  • I love reading. Books are really fascinating.
  • You can try new books and explore different genres of books.
  • Because I learn things and it keeps me entertained.
  • It’s a quiet learning environment and a calming place to read over all.
  • Because you get to learn new things about books and meet new people.
  • I love reading. I spend most of my time reading and doing homework.
  • It’s a quiet place to read and hang out.
  • I can read books and libraries can give me ideas for activities.
  • Because you get to relax and do homework in a quiet and calm place.
  • Because they are a place to escape reality.

Thanks to everyone for helping celebrate libraries!

September 2023

Lots of new books arriving:  Novels, Graphic Novels, and Informational Texts to help support class curricula.

We just received a couple of sets aimed at striving readers who are fans of sports – one set looks at the history of various sports, and one attacks the physical science of sports, from football to swimming to cycling. Plenty of other student requests, too.

Remember, we encourage teacher requests and suggestions as well.

Coming very soon – a library map for patrons to view–on their computers–the general area of where books reside.
