Hi! Welcome to my online blog of what's new in books and media for children. This website is designed for students, parents, and teachers as a resource for staying connected to the library. My goal is to promote family literacy and encourage lifelong reading.

Skype An Author Visit


Here is a picture of our first Skype visit with an author in our library. Best use of technology is connecting students to the community! Third grade students learned about writing and publishing as well as played activities to encourage their creativity in storytelling!  This aligned with their curriculum author studies.  Students plan on publishing and selling their own books next month.
