In the past...

Today I gathered some old books and some that students frequently check out today. I placed these books in a display to show students what their parents might have read as a child.

Fall

I attended the Tennessee Association of School Librarians (TASL) conference in Murfreesboro on Friday, September 30th. I was excited to meet with other librarians and gain insight as to how their libraries work. I got freebies and lots of ideas...even some free books!

The library received almost $500 worth of books from the PTO's bookfair. Thanks to all the PTO people for their generosity!

The library also received a generous donation from the Isbell family ~ over 40 videos! These will be ready for check - out once a student reaches their AR goal in the second nine weeks. I also have the magazines barcoded and, like videos, these will be ready for check out when students reach their AR goals.

I am working on the Library Newsletter which will be included in with your child's report card....so be on the lookout for that! Also, I am planning a Book Exchange for the night of Parent - Teacher conferences. More information soon!

Happy Reading!
