Teaching Books
A great resource for teaching novels or for students to look up books by their favorite author. Classics like Hamlet also have audio versions of books students can listen to while following along in the book.

Scholastic Book Fair
When can students come? Students will be able to look at the catalog on the Scholastic website the week prior. Students can even browse now through the links on the Drew Library website. Students will have to receive a library ticket from me during Nutrition and Lunch. It's a limited capacity, and there will be community volunteers helping to supervise and manage flow of traffic. A Book Fair principle states that I cannot make transactions to students during their instructional time, hence no library visit, just non-instructional time.
When can parents come in? The window of time prior and after school until 3:30, so long as it does not impede the flow of pick up and drop off.
When can teachers come in? During conference period, before, afterschool. If you set up an eWallet, the process can flow faster. There is a coupon for $5 off min purchases of $20
Proposal for Secret Santa Sponsoring: If you recognize a student who could use assistance during this time, you nominate them to have a book (prices vary but $10) covered by a "Secret Santa", aka Drew staff member.
