Please consider signing up to help out at the Book Fair!!
Tryouts in October /Teams start in November
Battle of the Books List is not out yet. I will send information out as soon as it is available.
If your student is interested in trying out for Battle of the Books, we will ask that interested students read the books (tBD) over Fall Break. (These are just two of the 10 books they will be competing with.) They can read and re-read them as much as they would like. There will be a very detailed test following Fall Break to see if they make it onto the Team. We can only have 7 per team, so this will sort out who will be allowed to join the club.
FYI- I have very limited copies of these books in the NRE library, so I would ask that you check the public library, ask friends, or purchase your own copies.
Books:
3/4th grade will read: To Be Determined
5/6th grade To Be Determined
Try/Outs Test Dates:
3/4th grade will be: TBD
5/6th grade will be: TBD

The Highlands Rach Digital Library is Always Open
The Highlands Rach Digital Library is Always Open
Our digital library is always open—and it's been enhanced to accommodate more digital checkouts (now up to 12 borrows per month) and less wait time (decreased ratio of holds to copies, now just 3:1).
You may Skip the Line on OverDrive and through the Libby app for instant checkout of items, similar to Your Lucky Day items in our branches. And you'll see that familiar shamrock.
You may also access a variety of digital library perks, from audio-guided workouts, to crafting classes, to online learning and more.
Those who do not currently have a DCL library card can get instant access to our digital collection with a digital library card through OverDrive's Instant Digital Card and Hoopla's Engage.
Join us for Virtual Storytime fun and activities! Library staff will lead songs, rhymes, reading and fingerplays to keep nurturing those all-important emerging reading skills.
