News from the Library Lady

The new library media center is a hit with students!
"Falling" for the New Library!
I am excited to share that the new Nayatt Library Media Center is up and running. I love the colorful space and the students love it too! I have so many people to thank for helping to make this a dream come true. In particular, I would like to thank Jody Dunn, Maraidh Thomson and Heather Glassner. I couldn’t have moved all the books without their support.
Here is the scoop on the new library:
- We have 9,712 books in the collection. That number will grow as I order new books with district funds and a generous budget from the PTO.
- We have 24 computers in the library. Students use the computers during library classes and additional “technology blocks.”
- We have two iPads in the library donated by the PTO. We can’t wait to use the iPads for digital book talks.
- We have cozy chairs, a new rug, new bookshelves and a corner nook to make this a fun place to read and learn.
It is going to be a wonderful year of learning in the library.
Happy Reading!
The Library Lady

Thank you volunteers! It takes a village to keep the library running smoothly. Your help and dedication is appreciated.
