Kilgore ISD Libraries Update
Volume IV-V Spring 2015
KISD Elementary Libraries
Kilgore Primary Library
Many great things have been happening at the KPS Library. The students continue to enjoy checking out books and taking them home. They have done a great job returning and taking care of their books.
In honor of Black History Month, KPS students learned about African American inventors, artists, and others who made great contributions to our society.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, KPS students heard the story of The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn.
In February, KPS students also learned about Eric Carle and his wonderful illustrations.
The beginning of March marks the birthday of Dr. Seuss of course! KPS students had a blast celebrating this beloved author's special day.
During Texas Public School week a few little cowgirls and cowboys came to visit the library.
Students also got lucky on St. Patrick's Day when the new order of library books became available for check out. In addition, KPS now has access to dozens of e-books that can be read from any computer or mobile device.
On March 18, the KHS Cheerleaders visited KPS and read in the library and in classrooms.

During Texas Public School Week, the KIS Library had their book fair. Around $4500 was raised for the library. KIS also got to pick $1300 of product from the fair. How wonderful that so many people came out to support the KIS Library in spite of all the bad weather that week! Check out the cool decor for the Under the Sea book fair below.

We have continued our tech initiative training during PLCs here at KHS. In January, teachers received in depth training on Google Drive. In February, the topic was Web Based Student Projects and More. In March, Mrs. Cole presented on Google Classroom. In April, we will have a session on using web tools to organize resources.
Work continues on the collection of the KHS Library. We have rearranged our Fiction collection and we have a lot more room on our shelves and the books are much easier to see and find. We are still working on moving our non-Fiction section but I am happy to say that as of today, we are on the 900s so we should be done with this very soon!
Stay tuned for announcements about the National Library week festivities coming up in April.
