LIBRARY NEWS
Call Deb Danen or Kathy Rolling at 448-2875, ext. 7113, for more information regarding Cormier’s library.
Birthday Book Club
Many thanks to Madison in Mrs. Foote’s a.m. class, and Josie in Mrs. Blazek’s class for donating books to the library since the last newsletter. Perhaps your child has talked to you about donating a book to the library. All you would need to do is choose a new book that your son or daughter would like to give to the library. A student may want to bring the book in on their birthday but any other day is fine also. If you are wondering what titles to purchase, we would love Spring books for donations. We also have a list of donation ideas posted outside the library door for parents to take. A book is a gift you can open again and again. ~ Garrison Keillor
Library Book Care Reminder
If pages become ripped, please send the book back to the library with a note so that the page(s) can be repaired with special book tape. Being kind to books is practiced during library but we need your help at home also.
Spring Break
Spring Break is going to be here soon (March 22-28). Please remember to keep library books in a special place so they don’t get lost.

Sticker Chart–Prizes Needed
To promote positive behavior when classes come to the library they will have the opportunity to earn a sticker on the library behavior chart by being kind, safe, and responsible in the library. When a class has collected four stickers they will receive a reward—a prize from the treasure box! We would appreciate donations of simple prizes for our prize box. Due to health concerns we’d appreciate new or cleaned items only.
