@ Your Library

Dear Parents,

The library program has some exciting opportunities in store for your child this year:

• Our program will be promoting the very best of children's literature to your child with activities designed to help students enjoy the stories even more.
• We will be doing our very best to get (or keep) your children "hooked on reading" by recommending specific reading materials to each individual.
• We will add 100 or more new titles this year of the latest and most exciting new books for young readers, including quality non-fiction to help meet the Standards of Learning requirements.
• At each grade level, students will be learning research and technology skills specifically suited to their developmental needs. 
• We will be working with classroom teachers to help them find materials especially suited to the individual interests and abilities of your child.
• Library lessons will stress good Digital Citizenship, helping your child make safe and ethical decisions when using the Internet.
• The new Chromebooks in the library will be available for reading e-books this year! 
• Our "maker-space" and STEM materials are available to all children who want to be creators.
• We have a lot of special events being planned, including book activities like One Book, One School, a book fair, and reading contests.
• If you would like to volunteer to help in the library, please let me know. I’d love to have you.

I am ready and excited about this coming year and I am committed to making the library your child's favorite place in the school!

Your librarian, 

Tammy Perry
