Last week I had the unfortunate task of talking to all the students about Book Care, again. I typically talk about this at the beginning of the school year only, but the books are being returned to the library in horrible condition. Sticky, dirty, full of crumbs, you name it. I could really use your help at home reminding them to take care of the books, ultimately it's their responsibility. If you'd like to purchase some gallon sized ziplock bags for your child's book, that might be a good solution also.
And finally......NEW BOOKS! These are a few of the books that have been added to our library, they are waiting to be checked out!
Keep Reading ~ Mrs. Fellows
