SPRUCEWOOD ELEMENTARY MEDIA CENTER

TAKE A SPIN...

We invited our students and staff to come in and take a spin through our library to see what's new.  This bulletin board proved a great method to stir up some interest in our newly purchased books.

These bookmarks are the WINNERS of a Bookmark Contest!!!

We printed enough for the entire school.

What do you think?

Alta View is Wild About Books!

We decided on a safari theme for our library this year.

While looking at our new order of Beehive Nominee books, we came across 'Journey' by Aaron Becker.  It is a magical book.  It is wordless and the illustrations are amazing.  After reading it, we found a video done by the author where he talks about the symbolism in the book. (The video is four and a half minutes long.)  We are excited to share this book and video with third, fourth and fifth graders next week.
