Happy Summer!
It has been a great school year! I have seen so much growth and progress in students' reading ability. Thank you to all of my students who returned their books on time this year. This is also a great indicator of learned responsibility.
It is my hope that students will keep reading over the summer, for the pure enjoyment of it! Take time to visit the public library, where you will find lots of great reading material.
Have a great summer and I look forward to seeing everyone back in the St. Peter School library, come August!
Hello, Readers of ALL Ages!
The second semester is off to a great start in the library!
We are still officially in the season of winter. There is nothing better, than getting cozy with a great book when it is cold outside! Students are checking out books, in record numbers. This makes a librarian's heart so happy! We have so many great series, in all genres, to immerse ones self in. Some favorites right now, are the "Chronicles of Narnia", "Harry Potter" (of course!), "Wings of Fire", "The Seekers", "The Warriors", "The Baby-Sitters Club", and so many more!
Our nonfiction section is seeing lots of interest too. The most popular subjects now are; hunting, animals, pets, wars and battles, sports, cookbooks, and reptiles.
Also, with so many students involved in extracurricular activities outside of school, I always strive to make the library a relaxing, inviting place. A space for students to be able to not only check out books, but to relax, study, collaborate with their peers, and just feel happy and comfortable.
As always, we happily accept any gently used, books! Even if it is an older series, I'll take them. I often use them to replace very worn books, in our collection. Students are very hard on books, and they need to be replaced, quicker than one would think!
Do not hesitate to contact me, with any questions or concerns!
Keep reading!

SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO READ!
It has been a great year in the library!
I encourage students to continue to read over the summer. The public library offers some great summer programs and activities, as well as a wonderful variety of books for all reading levels. If you do not have a library card for your child, I encourage you to obtain one. It is free and easy!
Please keep our school library in mind over the summer, if you go through your child's books. What is no longer interesting to one child, will likely be fascinating to another child! The cost of books has increased a lot, and I love getting gently used ones, to add to our circulation collection or to replace worn-out books.
We can also always use new crayons, markers, construction paper, cardstock, etc., for students to enjoy using during their library time!
I love watching your children's confidence and joy in reading increase each year, and I look forward to another great year!
Happy Catholic Schools week!
Today is also the 100th day of school!
It has been so wonderful to have the students actually in the library each week. I feel so blessed to be "in person", as so many schools still are not. St. Peter Catholic School is lucky to have such a beautiful, HUGE space to call their library. Never has spacing students apart, been this important. We are easily able to do so in the library.
Students are more stressed than ever, due to Covid. I try to make library time a fun and relaxing one for them. One of the best parts of my job is getting to have such wonderful variety in my day. The library of the school is sort of like the kitchen of the home! It is a place where everyone gathers!
Students have checked out a total of 7,642 books, so far this school year. Needless to say, our students are strong readers! There is no such thing as a child who hates reading, they simply have not come across the right books!
The library is always thrilled to receive new and gently used books. I use them to replace worn copies and never let a book go to waste!
My hope is that everyone is able to have winter days, filled with warm drinks and good books to read!

Happy Fall!
With cooler weather, comes more time indoors! The colder months are a great time to find a cozy spot and read a good book.
Students have enjoyed checking out the Halloween and Thanksgiving books. They are now busy checking out the Christmas books. Many of these titles have "Reading Counts" quizzes, which make them even more exciting to read!
I wish everyone a safe a blessed Advent season!
