Oh my gosh! So much has been going on that I’ve been falling behind on posting. I wanted to first thank all our wonderful read-a-thon volunteers. Students had a great time at the event and we’re getting lots of awesome feedback about how to make it even better next year!
I’ll post an end-of-the-year summary of all that’s happened in the next weeks, and I also have an important announcement I’m hoping to make next week. But for now, I have to talk about returning library books!
All library materials are due back on this Thursday, June 4th. We’re no longer able to hold report cards, so we’re really at the mercy of our patrons and their parents when it comes to getting books back. The school team is doing a great job of reinforcing and reminding students to return library books, but we need our students and parents on board too! The bottom line is, the more books are returned, the fewer we have to replace, and the more funds we have for new, exciting materials.
If students have lost a book, we have a ton of options for them. This flyer details them (click to download) and I can give them prices on demand. Please note that if they’re replacing a book it needs to be the same title, but we don’t care about the format (paperback, hardcover, etc).
So that’s all for now – bring back your books! If you see a friend with library books, throw that friend over your shoulder, bring them to the library, and make them return their books! No, don’t do that, keep your hands to yourself. But you sure can help by reminding your friends!
And here, for your viewing pleasure, is a video one librarian made to inspire her students to bring ’em back. Like her, we’re all about the books here at AMS!
