A Month of Book Love
During the month of February, the library celebrated the books and literature that our students love. Each day students were prompted to write about a different kind of book they love and their responses were added to our giant Month of Book Love Calendar in the entryway of the library. Participants were entered into a prize drawing at the end of the month. Students also received a valentine every time they checkout books from the library between leading up to February 14th.

We will be hosting an evening event featuring Holocaust Survivor Rose Sherman Williams. When Rose Sherman Williams was just twelve years old, the Nazis invaded her hometown in Poland. Subject to the ravages of World War II and the dehumanization of Polish Jews by the Nazis, each day was a fight for survival. As a teenager, she fought the effects oppression and depression for six years. She endured physical beatings, starvation, and transfers from one labor camp to another. In 1944, having been deported to the notorious Auschwitz extermination camp, she had a bizarre encounter with the Angel of Death, Dr. Josef Mengele, himself. A death march ultimately led her to one of the most despicable camps of all: Bergen-Belsen. Miraculously, she survived to be liberated. Now in her nineties, this remarkable woman continues to share her story in hopes that it inspires courage and resilience, and touches the lives of those who hear it.
