Paredes Library Monthly Report

Overview
We also saw a tremendous increase in library usage this month with students on individual passes in the morning and during class! We had a 343% increase in individual student library from 195 students in August to 864 students in September! ACE is going strong in the morning and we have a wonderful group of students, around 25-30 that come to the library most mornings to read, game or work on assignments. Thank you so much to our Administration, Mrs. Kruse, Mr. Means and Ms. Ramirez for your support with this program!

In addition to helping keep the library organized, students check out materials to patrons, help process materials and create book displays. They also help laminate materials and can help you get your materials laminated. I have aides trained each period for the laminator.
We are looking for community volunteers to help in the library! Please let me know if you know any parents or community members who might be interested.

Paredes Library Calendar and Sign-Up
If students need to make up tests, please let me know in advance. I teach 5 library skills classes back to back and need to keep the library running, so I am unable to actively monitor your students while they are testing. Teachers, please remember no more than FIVE students at a time from one class on library passes.
