Blind date with a book: All month students can check out a book wrapped in brown, red, or white paper, take it home and unwrap it.
After they have completed their "date" they return their filled out rating form and are entered into a raffle drawing for a gift card.
Valentine's Day (Feb. 14th) in the library: Mrs. G will be hosting a speed dating event...for books! Students will move from table to table "Checking out" the books (potential matches) that are stacked on. They will have 3 minutes at each table then when the ding sounds they move to the next table. Hopefully, at the end of the session they will have a list of books that they can read in the near future. Of course they can borrow any of the dates they meet that day. All participants will receive a little something at the end.
Book Lover's Scavenger Hunt: Students will drop by the library on Monday, Feb. 11th and pick up a game board. Teachers and staff members have told me a title of one of their favorites books which I have written on a heart that is posted on the hallway bulletin board across from the library. The students must then match the teacher/staff member with the book they chose. The top three students with the most correct answers will receive a prize and all participants will receive something. Return your game boards on the 14th. Winners will be announced in the bulletin.
This Hearts for You! All students have filled out a heart with the name of a book they love or they found particularly meaningful. These are posted on the same bulletin board as the teachers/staff members hearts are. Everyone can stop by the board to see what books their peers liked.
Celebrate Library Lover's Month by taking some extra time to visit the public library in town or if you are here at school drop by our library. Then take some time to sit and share the love of reading with your child(ren).
