Vote for Books

Storybird

The fifth graders have been hard at work on their stories for their book buddies. Using storybird students have each created a digital storybook. With their parents permission, the students can write additional stories at home. They are looking forward to sharing their work with their buddies as well as their families!

A Thousand Strong

Did you know that the library has only been open for one week and we already have 1,131 books checked out! Check with your student to see what they've checked out this week.

Readers

Each class came in last week for their first library orientation lesson. The question that came up during each lesson..."When do we get to check out books?" So glad to have out Quail Run readers back in the library!

Library Volunteers

We're so lucky to have wonderful parent and community volunteers help in the library. Volunteers spend most of their time shelving books but we also frequently need help with some clerical tasks. Check the Library Volunteer tab to see the schedule. We typically need on helper each morning and each afternoon. Some volunteers come weekly and others on alternate weeks. If you'd like to volunteer please email me the day and time you'd prefer.
