Information and Tech library newsletter
Welcome!
Hello! My name is Mrs. Nie, the Elementary District Librarian! I am so excited to work with all of your kiddos in the library this year! This year, we will be working on finding great books, digital resources, computer programming, and more! If you ever have any questions or concerns please contact me: snie@basd.k12.wi.us.
BASD Elementary Library
To learn more about our libraries, please go to our district webpage.
On this page you can learn how to search our catalogs and much more.
Because I travel between 5 schools, my schedule tends to change quite a bit. On my webpage I have schedules, favorite reads, and other library information: Mrs. Nie's webpage.
I also share fun happenings on the BASD Elementary Library Facebook page.
Spooky Reads:
Scary Books are Good for Kids
The month of October I always see more scary check outs in the library. This is good for many reasons. My favorite is, scary books give kids a safe space to conquer their fears.
“Scary stories can serve as a kind of sounding board. Kids realize that they’re not the only one afraid and that it’s okay to be afraid. It helps them identify their fear so they can deal with it.” Roberta Brown (author of scary stories)
Mrs. Nie's Spooky Picks!
This month students have been learning where things are in the library. We've learned that the call numbers tell what kind of book it is. This information can help you when looking at our spooky titles.
E= picture book
EC= everybody chapter book- a quick read
FIC= chapter book
numbers= nonfiction
Battle of the Books (4/5th Grade)
Battle of the Books has begun! Students in 4/5th grade have signed up to join a team that works on reading a total of 20 books. After Christmas our real battles will begin. To find out more about our program, go to our Battle of the Books website.

Don't worry, Maker Club is on its way!
