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

Our annual Coins for Coats fundraising challenge will begin next Wednesday!  Please donate your spare change to help provide coats for RRISD students who are on the free/ reduced lunch program.  Every penny helps!  The collection runs from Wednesday, October 17th through Friday, October 19th.


We've had staff development and parent conferences for the last two days, so it's a short week for students.  Our focus for this week is to get new books into everyone's hands, so kindergarten through second grade will be checkout only this week.

Our district tech survey window opened, so third through fifth graders will be taking the survey during their library visits.

Ms Margocs compiled the library's August and September statistics yesterday, and...wow!  Look at those circulation numbers for the first six weeks of school!

We couldn't keep up with our shelving without the help of volunteers and WatchDOGS.  Sign up to volunteer!

Can you believe that our Fall Scholastic Book Fair is less than three weeks away?  There is a special incentive for the first five $75-or-more purchases--a giant squishy!  The funds we raise through our book fairs are used for online databases, books for students, our Bluebonnet Reading Program and Breakfast, library supplies, and professional development.

Thank you for all the ways you support our library and our community!
