A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them. –Lemony Snicket

Welcome to Patterson Elementary Library Media Center!

The LMC is a wonderful place to find a place to sit and read, investigate the answers to your questions, to find new books to enjoy! 

We love to help you find books, so come ask for a recommendation or two.

Witty and his animal friends enjoyed playing amidst the blanket of new fallen snow. They crafted snow people, built a fort, played games and enjoyed the cool crisp air. 

While some people may know that it begins on the second new moon after the winter solstice and ends on the full moon, YOU know that Chinese New Year is best known as the multi-day festival that marks the start of the new year. Gifts, lanterns, and fireworks are just a few of the ways you’ll be enjoying yourself over the next couple of weeks, but really, you are very happy to honor your friends, loved ones, and ancestors with a week of celebration! 

Martin Luther King Jr.'s words are like magical keys that unlock this power within us! His words teach us about being kind, fair, and standing up for what's right. 

It's winter-time, but that doesn't mean you're stuck inside. Get out there and explore the frosty world of sports! Watch the play-by-play, solve the puzzles, and help this cold-weather athlete score big. 

Jack Frost can a bit mischievous and likes play tricks. He visited last night and left his frosty marks on our walls and windows. He may even have frozen a couple of doors shut. He left his snowflake puzzles for us to ponder, and if we are not successful, he will be back with more chilly weather tomorrow. Put your warmest thinking cap and mittens on and Break Out of Jack Frost’s Freeze! 

Keyla and Sherlock want to start the New Year on the right foot. They are making a list of resolutions to choose from. Now where to begin? 

One chilly, frosty morning the gnomes were enjoying the day in the snow, playing, hiking and having fun. They did not realize that the door to the cabin froze shut! 

Trapped in a magical snow globe Arctic, can you solve puzzles, break the enchantment, and restore the aurora? 

Our Presidents have lots of responsibilities and one way they relax is to spend time with their pets. Pets have been residents of the White House since our first President! Dogs, cats, bunnies, ponies, and even alligators have been Presidential pets. It looks like some of the Presidential pets are a bit mixed up and not sure which President is their human. Help them sort themselves out and Breakout the Presidential Pets!
