Awesome Start

I have to say that today was a most excellent day. I am reminded all over again why I love this job and why I come back day after day, year after year. It's all about students connecting with books. I love to see the light in their eyes when they find that perfect book. It's even brighter when they find TWO perfect books. If we can capture them and help them become passionate readers at this age, there will be no stopping them as they get older. I always think back to the old saying, "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." Teach them to love to read today and they will grow up to be amazing leaders.

September Newsletter Part 1

Connect, Create & Craft

Our school and library theme this year is all about Connecting and Creating.  These are two very important things that must happen in our library on a daily basis.  

CONNECT - Students must be given the opportunity to connect with everyone and everything around them. So many times, the library is viewed as a place where we work in isolation and even in silence.  That is not true.  The library is a place where students can go to work with others, to wonder and to question.  There is technology available that can connect them to the world.  There are books that con connect them to people, places and ideas that they might never encounter otherwise.  Let's make sure that our kids truly connect in the library this year.  

CREATE - The library should also be a creative hub.  Students need the opportunity to explore and imagine.  This year we have added two creation spaces to the library.  These are places where students can work on projects assigned by their teachers or even get really creative and make something new and exciting.  We hope to incorporate legos in the library as well, both physical and virtual.  

This is going to be an awesome year as we allow our students to explore and learn in the library!  

Ten things you need to know about the library.

Looking Better...

This week has been full with getting the library organized and finishing the genre sections.  This year is going to be so exciting!  The kids are going to be excited to see the genre sections and to be able to browse for books that they will enjoy reading.
