Between the Lines


Booktalks, Book Fairs, and Printers




Just want to let you know how our Fall is progressing here in the King/Amigos library. The fifth grade girls were anxious to share their thoughts on the MCBA titles and other good reads. You can access their reviews and comment on them at http://www.booktalk.learnerblogs.org.

After a year of no printer in the library, we are now the proud owners of a laser printer which will be a workhorse for the library computers and surrounding classrooms. Jessica, our wonderful CitySprouts teacher, shows off the first printing.

We just wrapped up our Scholastic Book Fair. It was a big success. Scholastic is doing a much better job putting quality books into their fairs. We noticed it and so did parents and teachers. We couldn’t have pulled off a fair without Scholastic sending us a cashier all three days of the fair.

Also, Phyllis and Beena volunteered their time. Phyllis and a group of parents will run the Spring book fair. We will need many more volunteers. . .
