What’s New in the Library? (vintage library photo of child checking out books)

Reading Fluency Awards This is a new program for third through fifth grade students. To earn an award, all you have to do is come to the library and give a short “book talk” to the class about your library book. Be prepared to tell the title and author of the book and describe your favorite part of the story. You will then practice reading aloud by choosing a page from your book to read to the class. You may also create a poster (construction paper size) for your book showing the title, author and an illustration, which you can share during your talk. It’s like making a little commercial for your library book, but without the camera!

What’s Cooking? If you enjoy cooking, or just reading books about food, we have many new titles in the library for you to check out! There are fiction books about food, like The Runaway Dinner and Benito’s Sopaipillas in the picture book (yellow) section, as well as books for older readers such as Julia’s Kitchen and Me and the Pumpkin Queen. Many new non-fiction books about food have also been added to the 600s shelves: these include books about the food pyramid and healthy eating, as well as fun cookbooks like Fun Food and the Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook. Check one out and head to the kitchen! More New Books Do you like to draw? Read about pets? Discover more about dinosaurs? If so, we have new books in the library that will interest you. In addition to new books about food, we have new non-fiction books on the subjects of pets and dinosaurs, and many new books in the How to Draw… series. Fifth grade students will be especially pleased to know that we also have a beautiful new series of books on the states – excellent resources to use for those state reports!
