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)

Randerson kids and staff are really getting in the swing of .....

Get Caught Reading.....

I've been so impressed with how many pictures are coming in and how creative everyone is with their pictures.  Here are a few sent to me today.  Be sure to come in and check out the pictures in the foyer.  Look for rock climbing reading, handstand reading and reading at beautiful beaches and other great summer destinations.  Remember you can bring your photos in through September.  Students that have Reading Logs from the summer please return them to me by the end of next week. Wow am I impressed with all the summer reading, many students read for 30 min or more a day! What great books you have all been reading.  Please share your reviews with us as guest bloggers.  My favourite read this summer "Al Capone Does my Shirts" by Gennifer Choldenko.

Ah, I feel relaxed just looking at this picture.

I'm loving the photos of students Getting Caught Reading this Summer.  I look forward to setting up the bulletin board with pictures from all your summer travels and summer reading at home.  Be sure to bring pictures in September.

Get Caught Reading

Hi Randerson students and staff:

I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer in the warm sunshine.  I've read some great books over the holidays.  Today I finished Mr. Pettigrew's Last Stand.  It was a lovely story with delightful characters and set in the English countryside.

I have also read some great books from our Randerson collection including Al Capone Does My Shirts.   It was funny, clever and poignant.  My daughter says the sequel Al Capone Shines my Shoes is even better. Both books are in the library.

I look forward to hearing about all the great books you've read this summer.  I hope you have been taking pictures "getting caught reading".   Thanks to those who have sent pictures to me.  

Get Caught Reading this summer...

Be sure to send me your pictures ...... vmartineau@sd68.bc.ca or bring them into the library in September. We will be creating a Get Caught Reading wall in the library.

Happy Reading

Mrs. Martineau
