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

Thank you to the families that picked up books yesterday at our Grab & Go Curbside Delivery service!  Seems the new time might be a better fit for our learning community.

We still have quite a few requests on hold; be sure to pick them up at this Thursday's Grab & Go time from 5p to 630p.

Some of our students arrived on campus yesterday!  It was great to see them in the hallways and classrooms as we delivered some books that had been requested last week. 

This week's library lessons are asynchronous as teachers, students, and your library staff get used to the new schedule.  Kindergarten through second graders get to listen to our first Armadillo Readers' Choice book of the school year:  The Book Hog, by Greg Pizzoli.  It's a gentle reminder that books are for reading, and library books need to be returned!  On-campus students can return their books in the bin right outside the library door for now.



Second through fifth grades have a couple of videos to watch to remind them how to access our MackinVIA ebooks and find the ones that are a good fit and suit their interests.

Teachers are being asked to sign up for weekly fifteen minute library times for Phase 2 of student learning, so that we can have "live" lessons via Google Meet!  Weekly library time for book talking and skillbuilding helps to support literacy efforts in our school.

We had an in memoriam book request for the library.  Mr. Partida's father loved horses and horse racing; here are the books chosen in his memory:

Next week, we'll go over the procedures for in-class book delivery and book quarantine to keep our students and staff healthy.  Keep reading, 'Dillos!
