So many great books....So little time!!!!!
I am very excited to work in our new 4-6 library and support the 2-3 library. I taught 6th grade for over 20 years before I became the librarian in the 3rd-5th grade building in 2011. Now I am moving back to the building that I started in in 1997 teaching 6th grade.
This space is much bigger than in Bldg 1 and so nice. I have organized the fiction section by genre. I am excited to see students not only read other books in their favorite genres, but find books in other genres that might interest them. I was surprised to see how many authors wrote books in several genres.
This year I will be holding an activity every month called "TriBound". Similar to the game, TriBond, students will be shown 3 books and they are to try to determine what the books have in common. They will be able to put their results in a container. At the end of the month I will draw one name from those who have guessed the commonality correctly. The winner will receive a $5 Barnes & Noble gift card. I have created one specifically for Open House. Stop by and take a guess!
Our students will still use:
- Enterprise for our card catalog - this will search all the Hellgate libraries or you can use the drop down arrow and just search the 4-6 library. There is even a way to search the Missoula Public Library from the drop down if Hellgate does not have the book you are looking for.
- Sora for our digital/audiobook library - their library card is their username. They can get this from Mrs. Westrom. Sora can be accessed from a web browser or an app.
- World Book Online for research - "Hellgate1" is the username and "Hawks" is the password.
We will be having our book fair in November. More information to come.
Book clubs will be starting soon - listen to the morning announcements for specific information.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me as I have library classes throughout the day.
