6th:

Hello, friends! I really miss all of you and your smiling faces! This week I'd like you to check out the 2020-2021 Bluebonnet Award Nominees.

Enjoy! And if you have time and want to, I'd love to see some pictures or just send me a note or video telling me all about the books you've read or are currently reading!

6th - 8th Grades:

Hello! I hope you are enjoying e-Learning at home! I really miss seeing your smiling faces! This week is NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK (April 19 - 25). The theme this year is..."Find Your Place at the Library AND Find the Library at Your Place!" With our nationwide shelter-in-place orders all libraries buildings are closed, but librarians and library staff across the nation are working tirelessly to support you and your family with a lot of online titles and resources.

This week we are also celebrating EARTH DAY on Wednesday, April 22. Are you looking for some fun Earth Day activities, songs, games and other information? Check out my new "Earth Day" page on this Library website. Click on the Let's Celebrate... tab at the top right-hand section of this screen next to the Home tab. Then select the Earth Day page.

Enjoy! And if you have time and want to, I'd love to see some pictures of you reading or just send me a note or video telling me all about the books you've read or are reading!
