The Battle titles have been revealed for a month now and I hope your child has been reading them.I have had converstions about the books as they come into the library to checkout more books.

If you and your child are wish to participate in the Saturday morning March 14th Battle, please go to https://www.baldwinlib.org/services/battle-of-the-books/ to find out all the information.

Team registration starts Monday January 12th. There is also an informational meeting that evening at 6:30pm. Once again, go the Baldwin Public Library website for more information.

Last year we had a team come in 2nd place! Goooo Bingham!

The 2nd graders are in the first half of their Navigating the Library unit. It is an important topic for 2nd graders since it is all about looking up books in Destiny Discover, the OCLC for the district, learning what all the information is about on the screen, and then finding the books in the library. Navitgating the Library is the first step to help students be independent on finding exactly what they are interested in reading. When students are in 3rd grades, they do not have a weekly library UA class. They come to the library when they need a book and use a Bingham library card to self checkout. Grades 3-5 do come to the library for research information, digital citizenship lessons, and other help when it is needed.

In case you missed Mrs. McKinney's newsletter...

Thank you Mrs. Chen for your countless hours working in the library and for the many other activities at Bingham that you have volunteered for.
