It's an Extreme Library Makeover...come and "check us out"!

It's been a busy place in the library over the past couple of weeks! We've truly undergone an EXTREME MAKEOVER in the library this year. Just before the Book Fair began, our new shelves finally arrived. With the help of the division`s library consultants, we were able to get all the books properly shelved and in circulation almost instantly! Our Fiction section has also been revamped to make it easier for the students to find their favorite books at their reading level.

Of course the big news in the library this month are the brand new colorful mitt chairs...a popular spot for reading or hanging out in the library working on our latest puzzle!!


A big THANK YOU to all our parents and students for your support of the Book Fair this past week. We sold over $5000.00 worth of Scholastic books and products to earn us a profit of nearly $3000 in books and cash toward our own school library!!! Way to go, LM community!

With the Book Fair packed up, it was back to business as usual in the library. We continue to celebrate LIBRARY MONTH at LM with our Name the Library Kitty contest and learning about how to choose a PURR-fect book with the early years students. Our Middle Years students have been introduced to our library website http://www.protopage.com/lmlibrary and discovering the wealth of resources and research tools right at their fingertips.


Next week, we will have some fun with Halloween websites and stories as well as taking a closer look at the book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak that has been turned into a movie!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
