Happy New (calendar) Year!

It is so nice to be back in the building after Christmas Break and we’re glad to be visiting classrooms again. Library classes are right back into their routines. We have started a research project about New York State in 4th-grade.  3rd-grade classes are exploring folktales, fables, and myths. 2nd-grade is learning to find and request books that they really want from our library catalog. 1st-grade and Kindergarten are learning about Caldecott award-winning picture books.

Now that we're back for the New Year, the library staff would like to ask for help returning overdue books. We still have quite a lot of books out from last spring when we went remote. This year, since we’ve been working from carts, we’ve been a little more lenient about letting books go out when students have overdue items. We also haven’t been sending out weekly reminders, so some students are falling behind on book returns. If your student has overdue books, please help them locate them. Books can be returned to your student’s teacher even if it’s not a library day. We’d love to get these student accounts cleaned up and the books back on the shelves so they can circulate. If you have any questions about overdue books, feel free to email me at dabbott@westgenesee.org.
