Hawks Library

School is almost out.  Library books are being checked in.  But don’t stop reading.  You can read books online – get books from the public library.

Summer Library Hours
June – 12:00 til 1:00 Monday thru Thursday (unless they are cleaning)

There is a new page added – Holiday Activities.  These are online and printable activities for students to do over the holidays when they just can’t think of anything else to do.

Have fun with them.

Google and Yahoo aren’t always the best search engines to use.  Thanks to Joyce Valenza and her blog The NeverEnding Search on the School Library Journal Website for the posters on three topics: Kids’ Search Tools, Kids’ Reference, Kids’ Video Search. These posters will give you some places to start looking. Take a look and discover something new.

On Monday,  Nov 15th, we will have a read aloud night at the library.  We have some special readers who will read to the group.  Then there will be time for parents, grandparents, care givers to read to individual children.  Join us from 6:30 to 7:30 and enjoy Reading Aloud.

Check out the AR widget in the left column. It contains up to date stats on the number of books and the number of words our school has read so far this year.
