National Library Week is being celebrated April 12-18th. The theme this year, Unlimited Possibilities @ Your Library echoes the idea that libraries are more than just books. At today’s libraries (which include school, public, academic and special libraries), patrons can find informations sources, as well as tools and technologies that help them explore a wide range of interests and activities.

Common Craft, the people who make great short videos to educate others on many technology-related subjects, has just released a video called Libraries in the Internet Age. It does a great job of explaining what today’s libraries are all about:

Celebrate National Library Week!

If the latest snowstorm has left you feeling cooped up inside, why not try some hands-on science fun? The folks at Howcast have assembled more than 50 short videos on creating cool things like a balloon-powered car, 3-D glasses or a mini hovercraft. Make sure to have your parents’ permission before attempting to make anything on your own.

Have fun learning & leave some comments about what you created!

Best wishes for a joyous holiday season and a very happy new year!

Our Fall Book Fair opens on Wednesday Oct. 22nd, Parent-Teacher Conference Day and will be open from 9:00 am-2:30 pm in the Library. The fair will continue through Monday, October 27th, during school hours. You’ll find a great selection of books and related gift items.

Can’t make it to the fair?  A selection of items will be available for purchase online. You can visit our Online Book Fair website  by clicking on the icon below.  The Online Fair will be open through November 5th, and all items ordered online will be shipped to the school at no cost to you.

Classroom wish lists will be posted, and you will be able to donate books to the Library or your child’s classroom.

Welcome back, everybody!  Hope you all had a good summer break and found lots of interesting books to read. Library circulation will be starting very soon, and we have great books for everyone. 

It’s hard to believe that the end of the school year is almost here! There will be lots of time to catch up on reading, and one of the best ways to find out about a good book is through a recommendation or a review.  We’d love to have your review for a book that you’ve enjoyed–just click on the link at the top of the page (Submit a Book Review) and follow the instructions.

The cases and boxes may be gone from the library, but you can still continue shopping!

There are still books remaining to donate to the library and to students’ classrooms, and for every $10 spent on donations, you will earn a raffle ticket towards some great prizes. In addition, you can shop online and have items shipped to the school free of charge.

All purchases benefit our school–thank you for your support!
