November
“Hunger is NOT a Game” 2nd Annual Food Drive
For the month of November, the library is hosting a food drive benefiting The Round Rock Serving Center. Some of our Hernandez families probably rely on the food bank in times of need, so please donate canned and non-perishable foods to support the drive. Anything at all is appreciated. Every teacher who donates any food will have their name put in a drawing and Cherri and I will buy the winner lunch! So please donate!!

Hernandez Middle School Library
It is still a work in progress, but is now much easier to navigate and looks better too. I created it using a site called Weebly.com. If anyone is interested in creating their own, let me know and I can help you set one up.
More libraries, less Wal-marts
An interesting article that shows libraries aren't going anywhere. They are simply changing with the times.
