Students in the K classes had quite an adventure searching for their missing Curious George. They found his books, a banana peel, and a clue from him in the media center. Then they were off on a quest to locate him. There are lots of books about his other adventures here in the library. Why not check one out?

Students in K-3 are helping us check out their books by putting the pink due date in the book's pocket themselves. Hopefully this hands on experience will help them remember when their books are due and also help them understand their responsibility when borrowing materials.
Students in grade 4 are checking out their own library books this year. They all seemed very excited to use the bar code reader and scan their names and their books.

A big thank you goes out to Sydney Legakis for chairing the library volunteers this year. Her hard work and precious time has paid off for all of us. We have many parents who are helping us in the media center this month and they are all so appreciated. They are checking out books, helping students find books and exploring the many treasures found in our library. Thank you so much to all of our wonderful parent volunteers. We love you!!!!
