What's happening in the stacks?

Spring Fever is Here
Wow, we are so close to the end of our first year in this beautiful new building! What a treat it has been to serve you in the library. I have learned so much this year about our students, our staff, our strengths and our needs. Our library is now fully stocked with YA literature and digital media. I have a list of to-do's for next year and a wish list of titles to add in August 2015. Some of the things that we will be working on is an 'incentive' program for students that choose to read in their free time. I don't need to convince you of the importance of reading for vocabulary development, fluency, comprehension, and stamina. The wonderful by-product is that students will experience the pleasure of immersing themselves in good books! You will find out all the details in the Fall, but I will be challenging students to read 1,000,000 words and to sweeten the pot, they will have the opportunity to earn gifts from the library for each book that they read! We will use coffee funds and grants and donations to fund our incentives. If you receive items, tickets, or gift cards that you don't think that you will use.... think RE-GIFT!
