Welcome back everyone!
School is back in session, and by now your students are coming home and telling you what books they are reading in the library and classroom! This September our younger students will be reading about Going Back to School and/or Getting a New Teacher, Apples, and we will be introducing the beginning of fall themes by the end of the month.
Our Book Club will be starting on September 15th with the book CHASING VERMEER by Blue Balliett. Talk about a mystery with all kinds of extras! There are references to Art, Mathematical puzzles, Secret Codes and more. I can not wait to get started-I know our students will love this!
I am hoping that when you came in to register your students for school on August 23rd that you took a moment to fill out the paperwork for registering for Ohio Library for the Blind service and the new Digital Talking Books. The State Library is really trying to get school age children registered for this. If you missed this form, please go to the Ohio Library for the Blind link on the Library news site and contact them, or email me and I will send a form home. Either way, we would be happy to help you!
I would like to close this month’s news by thanking all of the parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles, brothers & sisters who encourage our students to read over the summer. It is a treat to hear your children tell me about the books they read or listened to. You are doing your children a great service in keeping them engaged and ready to learn!
Sincerely,
Janell A. Brown
