SUMMER READING
It's a most wonderful time of the year!
We've had fun, Hawks!
This year we've read and learned and created and researched. Thank you for returning your books so that students next year can enjoy them. We still have quite a few books out, though, so please check backpacks and under beds and bookshelves for any stray library books. Now it's time to relax and enjoy all the extra time to READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New Furniture
New Ribbon Tables
We have six of these! Two blue, two orange, and two that are a leafy green.
New Round Tables
Small groups can meet and work on research!
New Story Rug
Everyone has their own "spot!" No poking and everyone can see!
Click on the above The Library LibGuide link
for access to all sorts of information. The summer reading tab is a great place to find replacement PDFs for the summer reading logs that were sent home with students, as well as links to suggested titles, book trailers, and author websites.
There are at least 3 different ways to earn FREE books this summer with those summer reading programs from B&N, Half Price Books, and the SA Public Library.
Below is just a preview of what the page looks like! The link is in the title THE LIBRARY LIBGUIDE. You can also always find that page linked from the main school website or at the bottom of the newsletter.
Overdrive
Don't forget that any internet enabled device has access to a great collection of electronic library books and audiobooks. Download the FREE APP Overdrive from your store of choice. The first thing you'll need to do is to add the NEISD library collection (I usually search by zip code). Then enter your student's ID number and he or she will be able to check out all sorts of interesting titles from anywhere with wifi! Overdrive has lots of device specific help videos so it's easy!
Contact
During the summer the fastest way to contact the librarian with questions about book titles or Overdrive use is via the Harmony Hills ES Library Facebook fan page. School email will be checked periodically so it is still possible there, but the response just might not be as fast. ;)
Here's a throwback picture of Ms. Oliverson with Mrs. Clark!
