Happy New Year! 

I hope everyone had the happiest of holidays!

I have been working to update books and re-arrange the library to the best of my ability, its come a long way and continues to come along wonderfully!

The students have been learning about different holidays around the world and soon—we are going to dive into learning our different genres!

As I go through the books in our library; I have found that many of them are outdated—especially our non-fiction, which should be current or no less than 10 years old.  Even some of our fiction and picture books are from the 60s and 70s and though I have a deep love for classic literature, the reality is—students do not and it doesn’t suit their interests.

Our Spanish section in particular is lacking severely as well—particularly in its fiction and graphic novels.

So I am looking to update all around. 

Here is how you can help:

• I have created an Amazon Wishlist (and will keep adding to it overtime) of books that we have a need for or that will fit in well within out student’s interests.  If you are interested in purchasing a book to donate, we will place a sticker inside the book that reads “This Book Was Donated By:________” and it will go onto our shelved in your (or your student’s) honor! 
• Looking to clear out some books you have in home or in storage? We will happily take those too and any books that we can not use in our library will go into our Little Library out front or I will ship to another library in our district. ​

As always, I invite you in to out library to explore and see what had changed or what is new! 

Keep an eye out for an upcoming Book Fair!!! (Yes, that’s TWO this year!!) 

Thank you all in advance!

Thank you to all of the volunteers that helped with our Book Fair, we could not have done any of it without you and you are appreciated beyond words!

This year, the books fair made a grand total of $13,400!!! Our school will see a percentage of those profits and they will go towards building our Spanish section, teacher read a louds and updating our nonfiction. We were able to donate $300 in books to the Boys and Girls Club Early Learning Centers around Reno—these books will help teachers during circle and story time prepare children for kindergarten as well as help them get excited about learning to read!

We sold a grand total of 1,641 books out of our book fair this fall—and do you know what THAT means? Mrs. Fischer is keeping good on her word—same as last year and has selected Georgia Mandell to push a pie in her face!! Mrs. Fischer makes the students a bet every year that for every 1,000 books sold at the book fair, she will let the student with the most library book circulations for the year push a pie in her face. This year’s “pieing” will take, or will have taken place on Friday 11/01 at 2:10!! (Photo is from last year). 

November is here! In the library we will be learning about the 400 and 500 section of Dewey Decimal and all about being thankful, giving back to others and of course—staying Respectful, Responsible and Kind.

Thank you all again and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

If you are interested in donating books to our library—please do! I will go through them and anything we can not use I will offer back, put in our little community library, or send off to other schools in our district—no matter what; the books you donate go back to kids in our community.
