Book Fair and Kindles are coming soon!

We have some exciting news for 2013 to share with you! To begin, we are looking forward to the Scholastic Book Fair that will be in the building just before and during conferences in February! Stop by and see us. Our wonderful 8th Grade Ambassadors will be available during the evenings to help you and your family find some great titles! (They are also helping us set up and pack up the fair...THANKS a BUNCH to our Ambassadors!)

Book Fair Dates and Hours:
Friday, February 1st 12:00-4:00
Monday, February 4th 8:00-4:00
Tuesday, February 5th 8:00-4:00 and 4:00-8:00
Wednesday, February 6th 8:00-3:00 and 4:00-8:00 


Next up...Kindles for check out! Wait...Did you catch that?!?!  Yes, you did! The library recently purchased 18 Kindles that will be available for student check out! We still need to get accounts set up and books downloaded. Interested students will need to return a special permission form signed by parents in order to be responsible for the e-readers. We are hoping to have these ready just after conferences for students!

And...Have you seen our new and improved World Language Section in the library?  We have received some new picture books in a variety of languages and just placed an order for more than 30 German picture books to be added to the library. Please come in and check out the new titles we have to offer!

See you soon in the library,
Mrs. Lott and Mrs Bender
