Show Your Book Club Pride

Mrs. Miller and I decided to wear our new Lone Star Book Club Shirts today.  I hope you will wear yours with us on Fridays for the rest of the year.

School Library Month

Did you know April is School Library Month?  We are celebrating by rewarding students for coming to the library. Every time you come to the library during the month of April, you get to fill out a ticket (one a day).   Drawings will be held from the tickets every Friday and FIVE prizes will be given away.  In addition to the student prizes, teachers will also be rewarded.  I hope you will come in, get a ticket, and "may the odds be ever in your favor!"  As a bonus for the readers of this blog, for week two through four, I will also draw a SIXTH prize from anyone who leaves a comment below.  Please enter only once a week.

CONGRATULATIONS!

National Poetry Month

Did you know you can make poems out of anything?  Mrs. Chetty and Mrs. McCoy were inspired to make poems out of book titles.  Here is what they came up with:

STRAYDOG, Briar Rose, out of  patience, once was lost. Three little words, land of hope, a dog’s purpose, wait for me, unbroken. FOUND.
Flat broke, Violet Ranier almost got struck by lighting, holding up the Earth, north of Beautiful,  the year my parents  ruined my life. POP! No cream puffs!

We would love to see some of the poems you create!  Bring them by the library and we will be glad to display them!

PINK OUT in the Library

Yesterday, as I was getting ready for my ILA classes to come visit the library, I assumed it was going to be a "normal" day.  Even before the tornado lockdown in the afternoon, it turned out to be not a normal day at all.  The morning began with a lot of pink.  Did you see the kids yesterday walking the GMS halls in pink?  The first class that came to the library had many kids wearing pink, so, of course, I had to ask.  They told me they were wearing pink to support one of their friend's moms who was battling breast cancer. How awesome are they?  I was so inspired by these kids, I wanted to tell you all about it.

Donated Books

The GMS Library is so happy to announce that we just got some new books in!  We were able to do so by the generous donations of the following people and families.  Thanks so much for your contributions!  This week, as the ILA classes come to visit, the students will be able to check out these new books.
