Sometimes you need to make a big mess to do a project. Our tables are covered with piles of books to give away to our students who need books at home to read. These are books to keep, not library books!
Book bundles will be distributed to students on campus, as well as via Grab & Go Curbside Delivery. We will even make house calls if necessary to get books into the hands of our readers! Thank you for filling out the survey to let us know your home library needs.
Still need something to read? Eagle Scout Alex Oster, an AME alumnus, has built TWO Little Free Libraries on our campus and stocked us with tubs of books to keep it going awhile!
Some of the guidelines for AME's Little Free Libraries: books should be suitable for elementary and middle school students, relatively undamaged, and for right now, kept at home once taken due to the pandemic. You can return them in the green AME Library return bin by the portable driveway if you wish; we will quarantine them before replacing back in the Little Free Libraries.
There were no library lessons this week to allow teachers and student to adjust to new schedules and class rosters. Ms Margocs is working on a schedule to accommodate comfort levels of visiting a communal space to receive lessons and check out books. Classroom and curbside delivery of requested materials will continue!
We are still missing approximately two hundred and forty books that were checked out last March, just before shelter-in-place took effect. If you are back on campus, please return the books to the library via the green bins located in the halls. If you are still learning at home, there is a green bin located outside on the portable driveway from 8a to 3p every day. You can also drop off books during our Thursday evening Grab & Go service from 5p to 630p. There are no fines charged for overdue books!
Ms Margocs came across a donated book this week that shows us why weeding out old books is necessary.
Mumps cases are few these days, thanks to the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine that children receive. Most students would have little to no connection with this beginning reader book, thankfully!
Our new schedule of library read-alouds and lessons begins next week; see you then, Dillo Readers!
