Book Fair

ALMS just completed its Fall Book Fair.  Total sales were over $7500!  Thank you to all the volunteers who lent a hand and all the students and their families who helped to make it a success. Students were also a able to continue circulation despite the book fair being in progress.  Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

The Spring Book Fair will take place in March with family night corresponding with Open House on March 18.  Mark your calendars!

The fantastic flying books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

Earlier, this month the creative writing class is visited the library and for a lesson involving The fantastic flying books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.  Students first viewed the Academy Award winning short film then completed exercises before finishing up with a reading of the book.  Although the picture book is intended for younger audiences the content can be enjoyed by readers of all levels.

Media Assistants Favorite Book Display

The image is a little blurry, but earlier this week each media assistant was able to select some of their favorite books and create a shelf display.  These books have been very popular with their fellow students.
