Did You Know That April is National Poetry Month?
There is No Frigate Like a Book
by Emily Dickinson
There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul –
We have a large selection of books of poems and books about poets. Check us out.

Some Upcoming Challenges:
Bookmark Competition by Limitless Libraries
Students may come by the library to pick up the rules and submit a handmade bookmark to me by April 22nd. I will choose an overall winner from West End and will submit it to Limitless Libraries. They will contact me with the bookmark winner on May 6th. The overall winner will be invited to Nashville Public Library for a behind-the-scenes tour and lunch. There will be one winner for the district and their bookmark will be copied and made into bookmarks. The West End winner will also be given a prize (to be determined later).
Reading Incentives
Don't forget to encourage your students to complete their reading logs by clicking on the Explorer button and then clicking where it says "CLICK HERE." We continue to have kids earning no SSA and $25 gift certificates, etc.
School Library Month Challenge
This challenge runs from April 4 - 22. Students may come by the library to receive a challenge form for each book read. The completed forms must be turned in to me by April 22nd. I will send them to Limitless Libraries and they will draw a winner on May 2. Each school will have one winner. The winner will receive an iPad Mini!
We Are Still Getting Large Numbers of Materials Delivered
Teachers, even though we are in the last 9 weeks of the school year, the library continues to receive large numbers of books, DVDs, Playaways. Also, I am culling the shelves of duplicates and books without colorful covers. These would make excellent additions to the classroom libraries. This is an ongoing process until the end of the year, but I have already pulled about 75 books if you would like to stop by and choose some.
The Students Who Have Earned No SSA For Their Super Reading Skills This Week Are:
Virginia Hunt
Gavin Douglas
Bailey Beller
Kori Turney
Please send them to the library to pick up their bands.
Battle of the Books
The Inquirer Time Battlers will meet in the library on Wednesdays.
