OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2010

Well it's the end of October and all I can say is WOW! time sure does fly. October has been a very busy month in library. We have been learning about finding and retrieving information and we have also been reading very good books. The students are actively participating in the various book award programs, and I am pleased to see the rise in enthusiasm for reading. YEAH BUDLONG!!!! Please ask your child to tell you about some of the books we have been reading in library.

In November, we will be celebraring Children's Book Week, where we will read from several of our favorite authors. We will also learn about the meaning of Thanksgiving and we will research how the holiday has changed over the years.

Also in November, we will be holding our book fair where students will be able to purchase some of their favorite books. I will be having preview days the first week of November. Book fair is a great time to stock up on some great books at very reasonable prices, and it's a great way to support our library program. Proceeds from the book fair will be used to purchase books and materials for the library. So please help us out and come on in and buy a book. The book fair will be held from 11/9 thru 11/19 in room 116 (the old library). If you need help finding that perfect book, please let me know. I will be more than happy to help you.

Have a happy, and safe Halloween, and Thanksgiving, and thank you for all of your continued support of Budlong's library program.
