The relocated library is all set up and ready to go! Orientations and book exchanges start this week.
If you have visited the school this September, you may have noticed that where the library was last year there is a classroom for grade 1/2 students. So where did the library go? We moved the whole kit and caboodle downstairs at the end of June to what used to be Room 1. This is the room located in the basement on the right side of the building (when facing the front doors). We had an amazing team of movers to help us. They packed up the books into big black bins and then hauled them down the stairs! They also moved shelves, chairs, desks and the big circulation desk! What a job that as! Check out some pictures of our move. I will post some pictures of what it looks like now in my next post.
You may be wondering how books in our library go from the return cart back to the shelf. Or how all those great new books get stamped and labelled and ready for you to read. Well it all happens because of these amazing volunteers! They transform a very full shelving cart to a miraculously empty cart in an hour (or 2). Like magic. So a big thank you goes out to our amazing volunteers. We couldn't read it without you!
Here are a couple of sites that feature great books. And yes, boys will find great books on the Mighty Girl site as well as the Guys Read site! Ditto for girls!! Check out both to find your perfect read.
