RRMS Library Happenings

What a whirlwind month! It has been simply outstanding - classes, partners, small groups, reading, checkouts, lessons, makerspace use, and much more! See below for all the latest info and events from our library.

The American Library Association (ALA) announces its book award winners each January. Check out some of the top honors! For a list of all the winners, click here.

Our makerspace is being used! Students have been creating art, working on programming, and making origami, among other things. We have also had classes come and use it to support what they're learning in the classroom.

Thanks to all parents & staff who have donated items for our makerspace! At this time, we are no longer accepting donations. Our parents & staff have been so great to us this year! Stay tuned.

NEW: Students are invited to come use the makerspace during Rock Time! Just have a pass signed by your teacher and plan to stay the entire Rock Time. There are so many possibilities with all the supplies we have! Just come investigate!

Take a peek at what some classes have been up to in the library recently.

- At our Book Swap, Mrs. Sweeney brought her students to come browse!

On Saturday, January 21, all 6 of our school's Battle of the Books teams competed at Marshall Middle School against over 40 other teams in the Piedmont Region! Teams have been reading the same 20 books and competed in various rounds that tested knowledge of the books' trivia, quotes, and main ideas. It was a great time! Teams will now prepare for our school battle on April 5. See below for photos! Thanks to all our staff coaches for all their hard work!
