Library Happenings!
So far the year has been fast and furious with lots of fun events happening in the library. We went from orientation, to researching the historical figures, to learning how to use Canva (a really cool presentation tool), and how to use Sora (our ebook library)!
Creepy Cafe has been a huge hit this year, thank you all for pumping it up and getting the kids excited to attend. Make sure not to miss the events below!
Creepy Cafe
Don't miss our annual CREEPY CAFE! Come and listen to a creepy story as told by our very own GARCIA Gladiator students! It's a fun, but spooky event. We have had 2 very successful cafes and are looking forward to 3 more.
Scythe Book Club
We will have the author of the book Scythe, Neal Shusterman, come visit us at Garcia the afternoon of Dec. 2nd!! In order to attend students must read at least one of his books. If you haven't read any of his books this is a F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C book to start with! Book 1 in his new trilogy is sure to keep you wanting more. The 3rd book, The Toll, will be released in Nov. so let's hurry and read book 1 together. We will meet on Friday mornings from 8:00am - 8:30am in the library classroom. If you are interested in joining us come see Mrs. Orozco for a pass.
Poinsettia Library Fundraiser
Help us turn flowers into resources for our library. The library is a very popular place for students to come hang out. We are ready to update and add more resources in the library. Every poinsettia that is sold gets us closer to reading our goal. All order forms will go home Oct. 21st and are due Nov. 8th.
Neal Shusterman
Award winning author, Neal Shusterman, will be visiting our campus on December 2nd! This is a huge honor as he will be discussing his newest book, The Toll, from the Arc of a Scythe series. The Toll will be released on November 5th and the Barnes & Noble on Bandera will be fully stocked for purchase! Everyone is eager to find out how this exciting series will end. Make sure and get your copy soon! **Bonus** If you purchase The Toll you can snag a front row seat at his presentation and he will sign all book for everyone who attends!!
