In my family, we always give books as gifts.  Sometimes these books have been regifted or preread by the giver. In fact, one birthday, my mom told me I could have my present just as soon as she finished reading it! 

Every Christmas Eve, my children receive pyjamas and books.  My son who is going through a non-reading phase and hasn't read last year's book yet, received a Bathroom Reader and the latest edition of the Darwin Awards.  Annabel who is not much of a recreational reader, sped through Twilight last summer and is now working through the Hunger Games.  I gave her the second book, Catching Fire and a cook book.  My Dad's gift was the Sister Brothers and my mom got a dog training book for her new puppy, Daisy.  I received Julian Barnes's latest novel, The Sense of an Ending, and I bought Jerry the Chuck Davis book, Vancouver.

After two weeks of holidays, I was impressed how easily the students settled back into their Library routines.  We had a great first week back!

Many thanks to the Library Monitors who packed up the Christams decorations and put away all of the holiday books.  The school is lucky to have such dedicated helpers who are willing to give up their free time to keep the Library tidy and well organized.

The Monitors are also helping rearrange the Library to accommodate the new mounted Smartboard we are expecting this Spring. Moving the books gives me a chance to weed out the old, damaged and obsolete copies and uncover hidden treasures.

Mrs. Edgar is busy prepping the new books for the Library.  Some of the books we bought with our Scholastic credits include two new easy chapter books series, Flat Stanley and Black Lagoon Adventures.  We are also adding more of our popular Scooby Do, Spongebob and Pokemon books as well as filling students' requests for more Katie Kazoo, Big Nick and Lego books.
