Library Update

Dear Parents,

The library program has some exciting opportunities in store for your child this year:
  • Our program will be promoting the very best of children's literature to your child with activities designed to help student's enjoy the stories even more.
  • We will be doing our very best to get (or keep) your children "hooked on reading" by recommending specific reading materials to each individual.
  • We will add 100+  new titles this year of the latest and most exciting new books for young readers, including quality non-fiction to help meet the Common Core requirements.
  • At each grade level, students will be learning research and computer skills specifically suited to their developmental needs.
  • We will be working with classroom teachers to help them find materials especially suited to the individual interests and abilities of your child.
  • Library lessons will stress good Digital Citizenship, helping your child make safe and ethical decisions when using the Internet.
  • We will bring in more opportunities for your students to interact with the latest technology.
  • We have a lot of special events being planned, including book clubs, a book fair, and reading contests.
  • If you would like to volunteer to help at the bookfair, please let me know. We'd love to have you.
Mrs. Terrill and I are ready and excited about this coming year and are committed to making the library your child's favorite place in the school!

Your librarian,
Julie Fox
