Welcome back to a new year in the library!

It was great to see so many parents and students at our Back to School Nights. If you were looking for the book fair, this year we have opted for a book fair during parent conference week in October. You will receive more detailed information as we get closer.

As we get started with a new year, I would like to point you to our school website, click on the library link for information on our Destiny library catalog. From the Destiny home page you can click on a number of links such as the Accelerated Reader program, AR bookfinder and Bookflix, as well as a link to the public library and other library related sites. I invite you to explore all the different options.

In just a few weeks your student will bring home information on how to look up books they have checked out, build reading lists and explore our library catalog directly from your home computer. I encourage you to take a look as well.  

I hope everyone is as excited about the new school year as I am. I look forward to sharing my love of reading with your child, and as we explore different genres of books and learn skills to read informational text with confidence I hope your child will take advantage of everything offered in our library.

Please feel free to stop by and take a look around. The library door is always open during school hours and I look forward to seeing you.

Spring into Action, the Book Fair is Coming!

Our spring book fair starts Monday, February 13th and ends Friday, February 17th. It is in coordination with our spring conference week. 

Before school shopping hours: 8:30am to 9:30am
After school shopping hours: 1:30pm to 3:30pm daily, for parents, students and community members.

Additional shopping hours for students: during all recess and class library times.

Please utilize e-wallets, if at all possible (these can be set up directly on the Scholastic website) as that allows students to shop without having to bring cash.

Stop by and browse! Books are a great choice for the Easter basket and, unlike candy, they’re good for you!  

I look forward to seeing you and, as always, thank you so much for your past and continued support.
