After a one week delay, our library media center will open on Monday, September 10 for student check out.  Our staff is very excited about having our students in to check out books and audiobooks.  Kindergarten students will learn class procedures and have story time on Monday.  Our story this week is Beverly Billingsly Borrows a Book by Alexander Stadler.  On Tuesday, second grade students will have a procedures slide show, learn about our "Book camp:  Train Your Brain" reading promotion, and have The Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen read to them.  Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will bring STAR Reading Testing to our students.
