Ambrit Library News
November/December 2009
Our library collection has been divided, and both libraries are fully functioning. The Junior Library
near the gym is for students in Nursery through Grade 3, and it now
contains non-fiction books for those age groups as well as the Red,
Gold, and Green spot fiction books.
The Atrium Library
is for students in Grade 4 through Grade 8, and it now
contains Blue and Yellow spot fiction books, non-fiction and
reference books, and teacher resources. Both libraries have books
in Italian ready for
borrowing, thanks to the efforts of some wonderful library volunteers.
Just as a reminder, the “Ambrit Library,” as a whole, is
open from 8:30 am to
4:45 pm Monday through Thursday. Because we now have two separate
library spaces, though, it is possible – especially before or
after school – that parents and students who select books from
the Junior Library may need to bring them to the Atrium Library to
check them
out. Thank you to all who remember this extra step since it helps
us keep track of our books.
When the Junior Library door is open as school starts
and ends, we are pleased with the number of Nursery and
Kindergarten children who enthusiastically drag their parents through
the door to proudly show them "their" library. We encourage all
parents to come in and check out books to bring home to share with
their little ones. Reading together is a wonderful way to
reinforce language-learning. Don't forget to stock up for the holidays!
As a final item, Librarian Amy Ronning will be leaving soon, and we
hope you will find the time to stop in to say goodbye before the
Christmas break. We will all miss her.
