Library News
In March, we had many 11th grade English classes in for their research paper. Along with Social Studies and Spanish classes. Also over 5,500 students came to the library for their lunch and study hall periods. It was definitely a busy month.
Please let us know how we can help you. -Dawn & Kelly

April is National School Library Month
School Library Month is a celebration sponsored by the American Library Association of School Librarians. Every year in April, school librarians are encouraged to create activities to support their school and communities and celebrate the important role the school library programs play in student learning. Julianne Moore, award-winning actress and best-selling author, is the national spokesperson for 2015.
In honor of National Library Month, we will be holding a writing contest for students. The theme is “Why I Love My Library.” We will accept poems, essays or stories (100 words or less). The winner will receive a $50 American Express gift card.
Entries must be submitted by Thursday, April 30th.
We will make announcements and flyers will be available in the library.
