Mystery Books

Throughout the last few weeks several students have checked out books from our "Mystery Books" section in the library.  These books are wrapped in paper with only a barcode on the outside of the package.  Instead of choosing a book based on the cover, students can check out a book that is a mystery to them!  Inside of these packages are books that cover topics such as weather, space, and animals, as well as poetry books, joke books, and novels.  The purpose of our "Mystery Books" is to encourage students to check out books that they may not even know they will enjoy!  Pictured below are two library patrons enjoying our "Mystery Books" section.

Lunch Bunch Book Clubs are Going Great!

A small group of second grade students in Ms. Brevard's class are participating in a Lunch Bunch Book Club each week.  These students eat lunch in the library while they read an interesting picture book.  This week the students enjoyed reading The Reluctant Flower Girl by Lynne Barasch.

Polar Express of Book Boxcars was a Success!

Over 160 students participated in our Polar Express of book boxcars in December.  Boxcars were created to represent various titles such as The Polar Express, Pete the Cat Saves Christmas, Frozen, and many more!  Thank you G.E.S. for such a huge participation!
