What's Happening in the Library

Join us Friday, February 27th for some dinosaur fun after school from 4:00-5:00! Dinosaur George will be here with his amazing traveling Dinosaur museum. We will also have a goodie bag for our first 100 families that include some dinosaur activities to do at home. See the Ranger Report email from Ms. Anderson for more details.

1. Your child’s book should stay in their Library Book Bag when the book is not being read.

2. Books MUST be returned in the bag for a new book to be checked out and sent home.

3. If a bag is damaged please send it back to school so that we can reuse the label and repair or replace the bag. *DO NOT throw bags away.

4. Replacement bags will be $1.

Your child may not be able to read their library book to themselves yet, but that doesn't mean it's not important to them. The benefits of reading a book out loud to your child are huge. Reading the same book over and over to an adult may seem boring, but to young children it can help them learn reading skills at a young age. The article linked here lets you know about some of those benefits.

Our Spring book fair will be the week of March 9-13. This is a great way to get your kiddos excited about reading and a way to purchase some great books for home at a great price. More information will come home as the date gets closer.

If you receive an email reminder about a late library book don't worry! These reminders are sent out automatically on Monday mornings for any books that have been out for 30 days or more. We don't collect fines at our Calhoun Library, so it's just to remind you that you have a book at home that needs to be returned. Thank you for helping us keep the books in circulation for the students and teachers!
