Book Fair is Coming!

The MS will be hosting their annual fall book fair in the Library from 12/10 - 12/12. Student will be visiting the fair during their English classes to look at and purchase materials.

We have completed our first month of school, and students are back into the swing of things taking books out (and thankfully returning them as well). Some of our new books should arrive sometime soon, which is always fun here at the library. When a new book order arrives it's almost like having a birthday with lots of presents! It is so much fun to go through a box of brand new books and get them ready for check-out. If you have a suggestion of a title you would like to see in the library, stop by and see me. I'll be happy to check into the title for you and see about getting it for the library.

We are halfway into our first quarter. In library skills class we are currently learning about different types of resources in the library, and getting some practice using them. Soon we will be starting our major research project, practicing all the skills we have learned.

Also, take a look at the new reading website at RCS Reading Website. It will give you some great tips to help your child with reading and reading strategies, as well as some fun sites, book reviews and examples of some of the projects students have done.

The New School Year

Welcome back to the 2008-2009 School Year. I hope you had a good summer. I am looking forward to an exciting year here in the MS Library. The new sixth grade has come in for library orientation so they become familiar with their new library and they have started to check out library materials. They are enjoying the fiction, non-fiction and magazine collection. See you at Open House on Sept. 18.

End of the Year

I still can't believe it's June already. Time has certainly flown by. It has been a great first year here at RCS MS. The students and teachers were so welcoming.

We are still missing quite a few books, so if you find them at home, under the couch, or the bed or in the bookshelf don't throw them in the garbage, take a ride by the MS and drop them off.

Have a great summer! Relax and enjoy yourself. If you see me around, don't forget to stop me and say hi. I can't wait to see you in September.

End of the Year Book Return

It's that time of year again! It's time to clean out your locker, clean out your backpack, time to go through all the places your overdue library book couldn't possibly be and find it! And then you need to remember to bring it back to the Library and return it!

The last day to check out books from the library (providing you don't have any overdue books) is Friday, 5/30. After that it's return, return, return.

Magazines

The library has a variety of magazines for you to enjoy. New issues are available for you to look at in the library while last months issues are available for you to check out and enjoy at home. If you don't see your favorite magazine, drop by and let Mrs. Buckley know, we can try to get them in the library.

MS Online Book Club

Just a reminder that we have an continuing MS Online Book Club. It's really easy to join, all you need is an e-mail address and your parents permission. You can read the selected books at your own speed and post online when your ready. The first two selections are Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan. Come see me if your interested and I can get your started!
