Join Lakewood School District and the Lakewood/Smokey Point Public Library this summer in reading The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. Choose online or in-person discussion groups, where we will discuss the implications of smart phones in the lives of today’s youth.
Copies of the book can be placed on hold and picked up at the Lakewood/Smokey Point Library or the Lakewood Lockers. Lakewood/Smokey Point Library also has a limited number of books for immediate checkout if you call or visit in-person.

Thanks to our community and their support of the Educational Programs & Operations Levy, Lakewood School District will provide all school supplies for students except for a backpack during the 2026-27 school year. If families cannot provide a backpack, schools will help students access one with the help of our community partners.
Backpacks and other resources will be available during our annual Resource Fair on Aug. 20, 2026 at LINC NW.
