Library Lovers & initials
Without asking for initials, let us
know that you are here and doing the right things like using a
shelf marker correctly, reading quietly, helping a friend,
greeting a volunteer, etc.
Try the U Pick, U Read, U Tell Us About It, U Get
4 Initials on your library card jar:-) This is Roald Dahl Month
so you might just pick one of his books. |
3. More
complete series books
Like Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson &
Chris D'Lacey Fire Dragons. Let us know with a "Bright Idea" or
suggestion box entry what we are missing and we'll get it :-) |
4. LMC needs
to be more quiet
Try our SUPER quiet corner behind
the Clow Kids in the News display board. |
5. More
colorful computer lab
Watch for painted stools
appearing in the lab. Submit works of art to decorate the walls
:-) |
6. New
computers
We're all set, thanks to our school
district. They might take a little getting used to...like
adjusting the volume using the control on the screen. |
