Grades 2, 3 and 4 will have author Dianna Aston visit them on October 19^th. Please look for the order form we sent home with these students if you want to order an autographed book.

Pumpkin Character Extravaganza information will be sent home in Tuesday folders on October 6^th if your family wants to participate in this fun event. The pumpkins may be brought into the library October 19^th-22^nd.

Digital Citizenship week is October 19^th– 23^rd.  We are encouraging children to be safe, respectful, and responsible online. In the Library we will be talking about being a Digital Superhero! Please watch for the Family Tip sheet coming home soon to talk about the digital world in your home.

Read, Deed and Run students are helping the library collect food for hungry children in our area.  Katy Budget Books is helping us participate in the Crenshaw Food Drive sponsored by author Katherine Applegate.  Look for information about contributing from the RDR kids and check out #CrenshawFoodDrive on Twitter.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  To honor the fight against this disease, the Library is hoping to “Pink the School” with a pink shirt campaign.  Any student who wears a pink shirt on their library day during the month of October may check out an extra library book that day.  If they don’t want to wear a pink shirt, they can contribute $1.00 instead to receive an extra book check out that week. (One extra book check out per student per week.  All funds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation on November 1, 2015.)
