Please have your children return all library books by Thursday, December 18th. Books that have been overdue for more than 1 month will be billed for replacement costs if they are not returned before Christmas break. Thank you for helping keep our library collection complete and available for all students.

We are specifically missing a lot of our covered paperback graphic novels and smaller-sized books, as well as many of our new books. Please check bookshelves, vehicles, and anywhere else library books try to get lost. 😀

REMINDER: Christmas Spirit Week starts tomorrow.
Deck yourself in red and green!

Book character ornaments have started to arrive in the library & they're looking amazing!!

REMINDER: Blackbird Students are invited to mash up their artistic skills with a favorite book/character and create an ornament for the Library's Christmas tree. These ornaments will become part of the Library’s decorations for years to come... a growing celebration of the stories we love and the readers who cherish them.

The contest is open to all students, preschool through 12th grade. Ornaments can be made from any material, but should be 5" or smaller. Please turn in ornaments to Mrs. Lammers no later than Friday, December 5th.

Staff will determine the winning ornaments from each grade, with prizes awarded before Christmas break.
