Teachers and Staff-
Be sure to stop by the library to pick up a good book for the break!

Hope to see you in the library.

Free Stuff- Resource Room
Hi Teachers-
The Library Resource Room is trying to recycle some old stuff for classroom use. Glass fish tank (terrarium?), scads of file folder boxes, kajillions of DVD cases, globes, large storage tubs? Please let us know if anything interests you-
The Library Staff
Discarded Magazines
Hi Teachers-
The library has several boxes of discarded magazines available to go to classrooms. Many of them have great cut-up/collage potential.
Please stop by the library office and take what you want- the rest will be given away at the Used Book Sale next week (Tuesday through Thursday).
Thanks-
Michelle

Roald Dahl’s 100th!
September 13th marks what would have been the 100th birthday of master storyteller Roald Dahl (he died in 1990).
Stop by the foyer en route to lunch to be a true risk-taker and try some of the “Revolting Recipes” created by our K2 & Grade 2 students!

Korean Library Helper Needed
The library has some new Korean books that need to be entered into the computer system. Please contact Mrs. Rinker if you are interested in helping out!
Library Magazines
Teachers-
Great to see so many teachers and parents enjoying the magazine collection in the library…. but… please notify the desk when you take them and return them when you are done. Many issues of one of our newest magazines, Runner’s World, are missing and we like to keep some copies in the library so others may enjoy them too.
Be sure to stop by and check out some of our great new titles this year!
