Our Librarian:

Bonnie Lang – bonnie.lang@austinisd.org – 414-4151

Did you know that Mrs. Lang has a blog for the Doss Library? She wanted to create a place for students to make book recommendations and to talk about books. She also hoped that it would be a fun place for parents to get information about the library and to access book lists and relevant links. Check it out and leave a post!
