Despite the harsh weather Mother Nature threw at us, another successful book fair concluded Monday, November 5 at Brookhaven Elementary. The library raised about $1500 for new book and equipment. Once again, I am extremely thankful for the support teachers, parents, students and the school administration gives our library. It is most appreciated.
I have asked teachers what materials they will need to help them meet our new Next Generation standards. Nonfiction to support our curriculum is a critical need that book fair funds can begin to address. In addition, I have a very large wish list replete with titles I think will appeal to our avid readers.
Finally, I would like to purchase a large screen TV for the library. While at first glance this may seem extravagant and unnecessary, having a new television will enable us to better use the library for instruction and staff development activities. I will be looking for a set with ample HDMI inputs that will allow us to use the television as a giant monitor.
Thanks to everyone, again, for your support!
