Inspired by Emily and Francisco, Ms. Rolfe's goal is to finish the Gregor Overlander series by Suzanne Collins (maybe you recognize that name as the author of The Hunger Games!).

Thanks to all for supporting the book fair.  We raised enough money to purchase 134 books for classrooms, students and the library!

The Book Fair is coming!

December 9-12

7:45-4:30  

Open late on Thursday Dec. 12th until 6:30.

As always- come in and read with your child and you can earn one free reading book (up to a $5 value)

What are you doing this summer?  Ms. Rolfe is reading, working on her deck and visiting family - sometimes two at once.

My favorite series this summer.
My next book I read is going to be Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler

 Know any great librarians?  Think big - it could be a school librarian, a public librarian or a college librarian.  Sept.6 is the deadline for the I Love My Librarian Award (hey, maybe it should be I Love My Library Award!)

Coming soon!

Congratulations to our Battle of the Books Team!
