Changes Are Near

Over the past month, my library aides and I have been working on some changes that will soon be coming to the library.  During the month of December, we will be re-labeling the fiction section so that you can find books in your level much easier.  Once the labeling is complete, we will have a grand re-opening of the library where we will display new books and give everyone a chance to get acquainted with the new system.  Once we have a date for that, I will let everyone know.  Hope to see you there!!!

Book Fair

It is that time again....time for our annual Fall Book Fair!  As an 8-time National Award Winning book fair, we have alot to prove.  The book fair committee and I feel that we have a great fair planned.  The theme this year will be "Reader of Oz".  The fair will run October 24th-November 2nd.  Our family night will be Thursday, October 25th from 5-7.  We can't wait to see all of you at the fair!!
