Book Fair Success

The Elementary School Library wishes our community a happy New Year! With a new year, comes new books to read! 

We'd like to say a big thank you to those who shopped at the Book Worm Book Fair in December. The ASD Libraries benefit by receiving 10 percent of total purchases in store credit at Bookworm Book Shop. As a result, the ES Library has more than 200 new books for our readers to check out!

There is something new for everyone! Some of the highlights include several new National Geographic books such as Extreme Illusions, Myths Busted and Everything Battle. We also have several new cookbooks and baking guides as well as some new origami, paper airplane, pet and sports books. 

Some of our new junior fiction books are Gordon Korman's latest installment, Jackpot, several titles in the Seekers series by Erin Hunter and the latest in Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne. Many of our readers will also be happy to know that we have several new books in the My Weirder School series by Dan Gutman including Ms. Beard is Weird and Mr. Harrison is Embarrassin'.

Make sure to stop by the library to explore our new titles. Here is a sneak peak of some covers in the slide show below:

New Books to Explore

It's that exciting time again when we have hundreds of brand new books ready for you to explore! Come take a peek at our new chapter books, series, comics, picture books and information books. We have displays dotted around the library.

Some titles that are already disappearing off our shelves are the Charlie Joe Jackson series by Tom Greenwald, the new Survivors series by Erin Hunter and the 4 For 4 sport series by John Coy. ASD students are also excited about the National Geographic Weird But True books and as well as the Soccer Stars biographies. We can't forget to mention the long awaited episodes of The Familiars by Adam Jay Epstein, the new Goddess Girls books by Joan Holub, and brand new to our library, the Captain Awesome series by Stan Kirby.

Take a look at just some of our new titles below and see if anything catches your fancy!

Ready, set, READ!

We are back in full swing at the ES Library! We are happy to have students buzzing with excitement about learning and reading as we are now well into our new school year.

A few reminders about the library to help you get started on the right foot:

• ES Library Hours: 7:30am - 4:00pm
• Students are welcome to visit before or after school to check out books, read or work on homework.
• We ask that students in K1-Grade 2 be accompanied by an adult before and after school.
• Laptops and iPads are available for student use in the library to search for books or do homework.
• We encourage parents to regularly bring students to check out more books! Don't wait until your library class day. Come as often as you can! 
• Remember, families can check out ten books at a time. And, don't forget you have access to thousands of ebooks from home through our ES Library website.
• We are here to help. Please ask us for assistance and we will be more than happy to guide you with our resources and services.

We hope our students are enjoying some of our great new cozy spaces and seating areas. Please ask if you would like to use some of our smaller meeting and study rooms. If they are not booked, students and parents are welcome to use them.

Let's work together to make the library a shared learning space and resource that we can all enjoy.
