I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Children’s Book Week than to invite author Joe Hayes for a visit.
LIBRARY KICK OFF WEEK – GEEK READ DAY
On Wednesday, September 17th the library held it’s annual “Geek Read” to kick-off the opening of the library fo rthe brand new school year. Students were asked to “geek out” their uniform. Each class was asked to choose one finalist and pictured are the top Geek Boys and Geek Girls!
Boys from L-R – Moroni Hernandez, Tomas Garcia, Jose Ramos, and Brandon Velasco
Girls from L-R – Carolina Pena, Samantha Zambrano, Jazmin Mercado and Jacqueline Flores
Our winners were Kinder student Tomas Garcia and 1st grader – Samantha Zambrano. All the contestants did a great job and we look forward to next years event!
EOY SHELVING
My bright idea for shelving books at the end of the year, and it was something the 5th graders could help me with. 🙂
PIC OF THE DAY
One of the funniest and strangest things that happened this year was the hiding of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Up to 20 at a time. We found them everywhere. Hidden in the non-fiction section behind other books. Hidden in tubs that contained class sets. Hidden with the audiobooks. We aren’t exactly sure who was hiding them but we have our suspicions, and we don’t exactly know why they were hiding them but it did make for some comic relief.
…SNAPSHOT OF OUR LAST DAYS
This was the view on Wednesday 2 days before the library was to close it’s doors for the year. The line was out the door which was pretty much the norm all year long. I can only imagine what it will look like next year.

Congratulations to Arturo Tovar for being this years first place winner of our ‘Many Important Hats Contest”. How creative is this hat? It’s like Cat in the Hat met Wicked met a superhero! Very cool.
