This May, Get Caught Reading
If you come to the LMC at lunchtime, you definitely know the fellow to the left. He's Jordan Rosenbaum, our library intern, who was literally caught reading on the job. The funniest part is that Jordan admitted that this was the first book he ever read in all his years at WOHS. From the look on his face, the experience was well worth waiting for!
Well, you can't just come into the library to find the book of your dreams, but you can still get caught reading. In fact, take a picture of yourself reading anything of your choice -- a book, a magazine, the back of a cereal box, anything! Then email it to Mrs. Touzeau, Liberty Middle School's librarian at ltouzeau@westorangeschools.org so she can include it in a Get Caught Reading slide show to be shared with our WO learning community.
Please know that even if the LMC doors are closed, we are here to help you in any way we can. All you need to do is send us an email and we'll respond. We'd especially love to hear how you are doing. These are strange times indeed, but we will come through them stronger and together.
Semper fideles,
Ms. Matz & Mrs. Tindall
