Non Fiction Genres?
  
We'll give you the title and author. Can you come up
with the call number and genre? This LMCenter is good for 4 Library Lover

Read for the STARS
  
For every
hour you read, bring in a star. For every 100 hours students read, another
star goes on our flag for a state in our union. The class with the most
hours read each week is honored with a Read for the Stars trophy. Read for 600 minutes and
earn a free pass to Six Flags Great America and a voucher to a Kane County
Cougars baseball game.
Be sure and take note of the states represented by your stars! Remember,
teachers can help their class too!
