Dear readers,

My hope is that our remote library classes are a place of refuge, relaxation, comfort, joy, connection, and expression. All the things that stories bring to our lives!

In an effort to make things easier for you to access last springs' videos, I've added a page for BY Library activities and a page for IY Library Activities under the tab Archived Remote Learning 2019-2020.

You are always welcome to contact me for additional questions and support at wordenl@oes.edu.

Take care and happy reading, Ms. Lora

Dear students and families,

We miss you already!

Did you know that students and families checked out 755 books on Friday, March 13. That's compared to 175 books on the Friday before! Wow! We're so glad that so many of you were able to stock up on books. For resources on finding other ways to access both print and on-line reading material, visit our Got Books? page.

Each rotation, I will post library class assignments here on our Remote Learning page.

For remote learning, many experts suggest setting up a dedicated learning space in your home and creating a daily schedule to follow. In the beginning of this interview with beloved author, Patricia Polacco, she shares a tradition her family had of nightly "fire talks." I encourage you and your family to set up a special cozy reading nook and to set aside time each day to read and tell stories. Stories have a way of bringing us together and I hope we will find how true this is even, and perhaps especially, while we are physically apart.

If you have any questions, please contact me at wordenl@oes.edu.
