It's Wednesday! What's happening in the Sommer Library?

The mural...that's what's happening in the library these days!  Betsy Melton has done an amazing job, and now we have horses running along our library wall!  We've been watching in wonder over the last two weeks as she transformed the space into a beautifully diverse herd of stallions.  

Ms Margocs, Mrs. Woodul, and a host of volunteers helped our newest members of Sommer--kindergarteners and newcomers--take their ID photos during supply drop-off yesterday.  We took around 300 pictures!

Library orientation lessons will begin the week of August 20th.  We know students are anxious to check out books again!  There will be a special surprise for fourth and fifth graders...And speaking of fifth grade, they will be helping our kindergarteners with orientation again this year.  Everyone had so much fun last year combining those first visits that we decided to do it again.  Thank you, fifth grade teachers and students for volunteering your time to help our newest Stallions!

Our first library display of the year is made up of books that were on the weeding list because they are older than ten years or haven't been checked out in four or more years.  We have a LOT of books on display.  Please consider them before checking out books on the shelves; any that are left at the end of September will be weeded from our collection!  Teachers, you may also pull books from the display if you feel they need to stay.  Don't worry; we have lots of new books to fill our shelves.

Welcome back to school, Sommer Stallions!  Can't wait to share our library with you!
