Library Evening Hours... Tomorrow night!

REMINDER!

Tuesday, September 25th, our library will be open from 5-7pm.  Parents can come switch out new books or set up accounts if they still need to.  We will have bookmarks out to decorate, and will be teaching parents how to use BookFlix from home.  We hope to see you tomorrow evening!!

2012-2013 Library Helpers

We are so excited to have 20 Library Helpers this year!  So far they have been a huge help.  Each Library Helper has "adopted a shelf" in the nonfiction section of the library that they are responsible for.  These Helpers give up at least one day of recess per week to come help make sure our Union Hill Library is looking good.

Bluebonnet Pep Rallies

Last week 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students attended Bluebonnet Pep Rallies in the library.  They learned all about the 20 books on this year's Bluebonnet list, the prizes they can earn by reading and completing book reports, book clubs they can join, and best of all... they got to watch me jump around and try to act like a cheerleader!

Students are now pumped up and excited to start reading Bluebonnet books!  They learned about how we will have a campus "Battle of the Bluebonnets" sometime in March, and then the top 5 students will go on to compete in the district competition.  Stay tuned for some book trailers on this year's books.  You can also click on the link to the right that says "2012-2013 Bluebonnet Books" to see all 20 books.

Pictures are due THIS FRIDAY

Photos for the Special Reading Spot Contest are due THIS Friday.  To participate students must turn in an application with an attached picture.  A digital picture must also be sent to unionhill_library@roundrockisd.org.

I can't wait to see everyone's pictures!  I know students will enjoy seeing their pictures displayed in the library and it will definitely change the feel of our library.

Please email me at Vanessa_Stenulson@roundrockisd.org if you have any questions!

Congratulations!

We were able to choose 10 fourth graders, and 10 fifth graders to be UHE Library Helpers for the 2012-2013 year!  We will have our first after school meeting NEXT Monday, 9/17, in the library where students will get training in shelving books and creating book displays.

I am so excited about working with the 20 students who were chosen, and I truly look forward to their help! It's going to be a great year!
