Media Minute
What's Up at Dudley Elementary Library
Welcome!
I hope to send out these "media minutes" every month! In doing so, I hope it helps keep you informed of "what's up" in the library, what new items are here, and what new links we have found that are "must haves"/a tech piece. If you have anything you'd like to see, just let me know!
Primary Golden Sower Nominees are here!
There are 10 Primary Golden Sower nominees every year. Here's a look at three of them that have made their way to the library. Stop by the library to see the rest!
Mousetronaut
This book, written by Mark Kelly, is a Golden Sower nominee and made its way to our library this summer! Come check it out!
Creepy Carrots
Another Golden Sower nominee (primary grades) that has a "creepy" cover! Currently waiting for its first check-out at Dudley!
Crafty Chloe
You can find this book sitting on the Golden Sower nominee shelf (south wall in the library). One thing I LOVE about this book: It lists websites the reader can go to in order to make the crafts mentioned in the book! How cool is that!?!
Intermediate Golden Sower Nominees...some of them!
These are just a few of the 10 Intermediate Golden Sower nominees now in the library! Stop by to check them out!
A Diamond in the Desert
Centering around "America's favorite game" (or mine at least!), this book is not to be missed! Check out now at Dudley!
The Adventures of Beanboy
What a fun story! This Golden Sower nominee is sure to please!
Eight Keys
Who likes a mystery? Elise has always wondered about those eight locked rooms in the upstairs of her aunt and uncle's house!
