Happy New Year 2015!

What a great week we have had at Randerson library.  Books, books and more books came back from students after a heavy dose of holiday reading :)   We shared book talks, shelfies and great books 'we' got for Christmas.  From K-7 there were non-stop discussions on books, connections, enjoyment and recommendations. There were students sharing books with friends, others recommending series, others speaking of their trips to the public library over the break.  Remember if you want to see a book in our library that we don't have, stop by and write it on the "recommended books" list.  I will be putting an order in next week. :)  Yeah to the power of FREE READING!!!

Some of the top reviewed books included;
Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Long Haul
Smile & Sisters
Cherub (the series is hugely popular with our Gr. 7 boys)
