What's New in the library?

Look what's happening:

I am SO excited to be back and already looking forward to everything we have going on this semester!

​Check out the Blog page for a new post about what I read and where I went during winter break!

Things to look forward to:

  • February 3rd-13th: ​Cupid's Cutest Couples
    • This game is all about love and romance! Cupid will leave his arrow near the book featuring the couple described in the clues. Your job is to find his arrow and identify the novel to earn the daily prize (and a chance at the grand prize)!
  • March 17th: Leprechaun Luck
    • This is a one-day only, in-person game. I have confirmation that a leprechaun will be visiting the library. Your job is to find him. If you can, you get the prize! He'll move around a few times, so check back all day!
  • March 19-24: Hogwarts House Pride Week
    • ​Thursday, March 19 - Gryffindor
      • Are your brave enough to wear red and gold today?
    • Friday, March 20 - Hufflepuff 
      • Show your Hufflepuff loyalty with black and yellow (or gray).
    • Monday, March 23 - Ravenclaw
      • Be smart in blue and bronze (or white is good too).
    • Tuesday, March 24 - Slytherin
      • Show your resourcefulness by finding all your green and silver to wear today. 
  • Coming in April: Self Check Out!
    • I'm excited to announce that we will have a self-check stand starting in April!
  • May 1st-15th: Spring into Summer
    • ​Our last game of the year will take place at the beginning of May. The style of play will be similar to our others in that you will identify the book, but this time the books will feature summertime activities and travels to foreign cities.
I can't wait for all of these new activities. BUT, before we get too far in, I want to remind you of some of the new rules and procedures we have in the library this year:

1. The blue sign board will be up every day update you on our hours, closures, and special events. Skim it as you walk in to stay informed!

2. Please sign in using your ID number on the laptop at the entrance every time you enter the library (unless it is brunch or lunch). If you hang out during an open period, make sure you also sign out before you leave.

3. Unless you are actively looking for a book on the shelves or taking care of business at the circulation desk, please sit down with your group. (Remember the back corner is a silent area!)

4. Food and drinks are only allowed at the tables. Read the signs or ask a library worker if you are unsure about the rules regarding your food.
(Dry snacks and water are allowed in the silent area.)

5. We love having you come to the library and make use of our space and resources. But, please be respectful of our property (books & furniture) along with us and each other.
