National African American Read In
I am interested in hosting this in the library. Is anyone interested in co-hosting?
The event is sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English
· Serve as host of a 2016 African American Read-In during the month of February! Schools, churches, libraries, bookstores, community and professional organizations, and interested citizens are urged to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month by hosting and coordinating Read-Ins in their communities.
· Hosting a Read-In can be as simple as bringing together family and friends to share a book, or as elaborate as arranging public readings and media presentations that feature professional African American writers.

Please remind kids to bring their ID's when they come to the library.

Don't forget the Database Contest from Limitless Libraries. I mean, who can't use an IPad Mini?
I want to let you know about the contest Limitless Libraries has for teachers this month. It’s so easy to enter, and you could win an iPad Mini! All you need to do is follow these simple steps:
Access one of the databases on the Limitless Libraries website (www.limitlesslibraries.org/research-tools).
Complete this short form detailing which database you visited.
The contest will from from January 6 until January 29. There is no limit to the number of times you can enter. One winner will be drawn from each school tier (middle and high).
All of the databases on the Limitless website are designed for middle and high school students; you just might find something you want to include in your lessons!
Please let me know if you have any questions. Hopefully someone from our school will win!
Students must have a signed agenda or signed note to come to the Maker Space. I can only have 4 kids at the Maker Space at a time. This does not include kids at the sewing machine or the 3D printer.
