What's Happening...

The bookmarks from the bookmark contest are now ready! I have printed and laminated copies of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. Please take one when you sign out your books! See a picture of them below...

The Word Search contest will be ending on the Monday before Spring Break. I will announce the winner on Friday, March 18.

I have ordered several new magazines for the library! Keep an eye out for the new additions! I have also renewed some of the ones that were already here.

Just a reminder that you will be able to take out 10 books for Spring Break starting on Monday the 14th!

Please remember to return or renew your books!

New Contest!

Check out the Word Search bulletin board in the library. Pick up a copy of the word search and neatly circle the words you find AND write them on the back of the paper. Hint: you are trying to find library terms and book genres. Hand in your paper (with your name on it!)for a chance to win a prize! No… I will not tell you how many words there are!

Also... look at the "New Stuff" by LibraryThing to see some of the new books that have been added to the library!

Happy New Year!

Welcome back everyone!

I hope you all had a fun and relaxing break.

Winners of the bookmark contest are...

 1^st place: Brenna Wiens, 2^nd place: Isabelle Friesen, 3^rd place tie between Marquella Uhrig and Upneet Bala and 1^st place for the digital category is Dylan Friesen. Thanks to everyone who participated, there were many amazing entries! Thanks to all the judges who picked the winners!

What's Happening...

Next week you will be able to take out 10 books!  All books will be due back on January 10. This will give you extra days to remember to bring your books back after the break and avoid collecting fines.

Also, the bookmark contest will end on Monday, December 13. I have received some amazing bookmarks, but would love to have more!

Check out the new books I have added to LibraryThing (left column). They will soon be ready for you to take out! I just got another shipment in today!!

Remember to check out the "Suggest a Book" page if you would like me to look into ordering a book that you would recommend for the library!

Help!

The library needs your help… we are running out of bookmarks! Instead of buying new bookmarks, I have decided to have a Bookmark Contest. There are so many talented artists at this school that I thought it would be great to see what you came up with! There will be two different entries for the contest – bookmarks designed by hand and/or designed on the computer. Copies of the winning bookmarks will be made, laminated and available for everyone in the library. Winners will also receive a special prize!

Some rules: The bookmarks need to be no larger than 5 cm x 18 cm. They should either promote reading/libraries, Christmas or they can be abstract. Please make sure your name is on the back.

I can’t wait to see what all you creative students come up with! If you have any questions come see me in the library! Thanks Rachael, Kendra, and YiYa for your help with this!

New Books!

Be sure to check out the new books that are ready! There will also be a new shipment arriving next week (watch for the new titles on the side of the blog!). Also, check out the resource list (New Books October (Middle)) for the books that are ready to be signed out!

What’s happening in the library…

I can’t believe it is almost the end of October; it has been so busy in the library this month. Grade 7 & 8 classes have had bibliography lessons using books and encyclopedias (Websites will be next week). Grade 6 classes have had a fun “treasure hunt” with prizes going to the winning teams.

I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all my amazing library helpers! You rock!!
