Hello!!! Well look at this! We have our own READBOX now at Oakdale!

WE loved this idea. What a great way to share and to recycle at the same time.

Sprucewood Elementary plans to "Get Fired Up About Reading!"

Our theme for this school year is "Get Fired Up About Reading!"   We want our students to be excited to come to the library each week and to get new books.  We started the year off by introducing our theme and inviting students to "Dragon in quietly to the library" and choose a great book.  Students were reminded of proper book care and told to never read a book if their fire-breathing dragon has the hiccups and is sitting on their shoulders.   



Sparky the dragon gave us a tour of the library and told us about some of the new books that were published over the summer and are new to our library.  It's going to be a fun year to Get Fired Up About Reading! at Sprucewood Elementary

Seeking for Treasure at Edgemont Elementary

Ahoy thar mateys!

 The students at Edgemont are excited to seek for treasure in the library this year!  They are learning that our media center is a treasure box filled with wonderful books, great knowledge, and imagination galore.  They greet us with an eager "Aargh!" every time they visit and we couldn't be more excited to teach them everything we can!

Butler Elementary


THIS YEAR,

BUTLER BOBCATS ARE 'WILD' ABOUT READING!



With thanks to Edgemont Elementary, we chose "Bobcats are WILD about Books" as our theme. Here are some pictures:


 Donations from parents helped us set up this cozy reading corner.


In this area of the library, we hope to draw attention to book series that we are hoping the students can get excited about.
