Summer Reading 2016

Did you know that it is very important to read over the summer? Research shows that kids who read over the summer come back to school the next year and do better than kids who didn't read at all!!!

All of you need to keep reading over the summer. 

Here are some links to summer reading programs:

Education World

International Children's Digital Library

Sherman Public Library

Gunter Library

I hope you make reading part of your summer fun!!

Book Fair Success!!

The 2015 GMS book fair was a success. We sold $2,749 in books so the library will receive $1,375 in books. A big thank you to everyone who contributed to our success. I could not have done it without my great student crew: Tristan Meadors, Natalie Stephan, Ashley Bruner, Brianna Carr, Taylor Boddie, Caitlyn Siler, Bethany Gilbreath, Bria Savage and Mary Smith. Here are a few pictures of the week.

2015-16 School Year

Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a great summer. I am looking forward to a Marr-velous year. We will be receiving shipments of new books this Fall. I am continuing the Rave Reviews program; so if you are looking for a book, check out that page and see what others are reading and what they recommend.
