Glover Library Gift Book

The Glover Library Gift Book Program is now in My School Bucks. 

The Gift Book Program provides the Glover School Library with valuable support by keeping the library collection fresh and up to date, while at the same time providing an opportunity to commemorate a student’s birthday and other special events. 

Families donate money to the library for the purchase of a new hardcover book. Students visit the library and choose a book from a selection of new books. A special effort is made to find just the right book for each student. When the book is selected, a bookplate is added to the front of the book noting the occasion and the contribution from the family. The book is presented to the child and they are the first to sign it out.

This program is an opportunity for your child to experience the pleasure of giving and receiving in a unique and meaningful way. The book is a lasting gift which will benefit not just your child, but the entire school community. Suggested donation $25.00.

Thank you for your support of the Glover School Library!

Online Library Resources

Glover School students have access to library resources anytime from anywhere. These resources can be accessed via the Glover School Library website on the eBooks page and the Databases page. 

With Sora students can access a large collection of free eBooks, audiobooks and magazines. The collection, curated by the Massachusetts Library System, is accessible 24/7. It is convenient for students to check out titles at home, on weekends or during school breaks with no worry about misplacing a book – these digital titles automatically return at the end of the lending period. Students can simply log in using school credentials and instantly access thousands of eBooks, audiobooks and magazines on virtually any device. 

Online information resources, such as Britannica and Pebble Go, provide students with trusted learning content. Students can discover new facts about animals, people, plants, science and geography. These resources include audio enabled articles, videos, puzzles and games.

Summer Reading

The Marblehead elementary summer reading list is the collaborative effort of Marblehead Elementary School Librarians. This list is designed to encourage students to read for pleasure and enjoyment. Remember that reading aloud to your child is a great way to enjoy the many wonderful books that are available. To help you and your child choose appropriate books, we have included recommendations that cover a wide range of reading levels and genres. All of the books are available at Abbot Library. We encourage students in grades K-3 to read daily throughout the summer. We encourage you to visit your public library this summer and participate in their summer reading program. 

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER! KEEP READING!
