We are off to a great start in the Ellen Cunniff Library.
Once again, I am at Sprague four days a week – Tuesday through Friday. We are
delighted to welcome a terrific new Library Instructional Assistant, Samantha
(Sammy) Gradwohl. Sammy is at Sprague every day but Wednesday.
Students spend their scheduled library time practicing
information and research skills, appreciating literature, and selecting books
for learning and leisure use. Kindergarten and 1st graders may check out one
book, and 2nd through 5th graders may check out two books. (These numbers may
increase in the future)
The loan period is two weeks; books can be renewed unless
they are in high demand. Students can always exchange books in the library during
the week, and check out new materials. Although fines are not charged for
overdue books, we ask that families be responsible for the cost of books that
are lost or damaged. Please help your child remember to put his or her book in
a backpack and bring it back to school on, or before library day.
Many thanks to Andrea Doglioli for
coordinating the volunteers who will be assisting Sammy with the Kindergarten
classes on Monday. We are also thrilled that Maura Miele has taken charge of
the Remember Me book donation
program. Once again I wish to acknowledge the generous support of the PTO for supporting
the Massachusetts Children’s Book Award Program (MCBA) and the general library
collection. Thanks to all of you who have donated generously to enrich our collection!
