The Book Fair is Coming

2009-11-30T05:16:00.001-08:00

It's that wonderful time of year again! No I am not talking about the upcoming holidays, I am talking about the RCS MS Book Fair. The book fair will be arriving at the middle school library media center on Dec 16 and run through Dec 21. The fair will be open from 1st to 9th period. Students will be visiting the book fair during classes and are more than welcome to come during study hall periods and their lunch. A schedule will be released soon. Parents are more than welcome to stop by during regular book fair hours. Cash and checks only. This is a great time to pick up those last minute gifts. See you soon!

Library Re-Organization

2009-10-26T06:01:00.000-07:00

There is so much going on in the RCS MS Library! We have started re-organizing the library to make better use of space available. Thanks to our new library volunteer the re-organization is moving along. Our new books arrived and are already on our shelves. I can't believe we are almost through the first quarter. This year is moving along quickly!

New School Year

2009-09-16T09:50:00.000-07:00

The New School Year is here. There have been a few changes in the library so far, and there are many more to come as the year progressess. We have a whole new batch of sixth graders starting at the middle school. It's going to be a fun year!

Come by and see what's going on! See you soon!

We just started the third quarter and the new sixth grade library skills students are getting their first experiences in library skills class. I am looking forward to this quarter. We will be hosting another book fair in the spring - with our "buy 1 - get 1 free" special. Will keep you posted.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! January is starting out great. The book fair held in December was a great success. The English teachers were given some great new additions for their classroom library and the library media center has some amazing new reads for it's shelves. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped to make it a success. Can't wait to do it again in the spring.

Book Fair is Coming!

We have completed our first month of school, and students are back into the swing of things taking books out (and thankfully returning them as well). Some of our new books should arrive sometime soon, which is always fun here at the library. When a new book order arrives it's almost like having a birthday with lots of presents! It is so much fun to go through a box of brand new books and get them ready for check-out. If you have a suggestion of a title you would like to see in the library, stop by and see me. I'll be happy to check into the title for you and see about getting it for the library.

We are halfway into our first quarter. In library skills class we are currently learning about different types of resources in the library, and getting some practice using them. Soon we will be starting our major research project, practicing all the skills we have learned.

Also, take a look at the new reading website at RCS Reading Website. It will give you some great tips to help your child with reading and reading strategies, as well as some fun sites, book reviews and examples of some of the projects students have done.

The New School Year

2008-09-10T09:29:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to the 2008-2009 School Year. I hope you had a good summer. I am looking forward to an exciting year here in the MS Library. The new sixth grade has come in for library orientation so they become familiar with their new library and they have started to check out library materials. They are enjoying the fiction, non-fiction and magazine collection. See you at Open House on Sept. 18.

End of the Year

2008-06-26T04:39:00.000-07:00

I still can't believe it's June already. Time has certainly flown by. It has been a great first year here at RCS MS. The students and teachers were so welcoming.

We are still missing quite a few books, so if you find them at home, under the couch, or the bed or in the bookshelf don't throw them in the garbage, take a ride by the MS and drop them off.

Have a great summer! Relax and enjoy yourself. If you see me around, don't forget to stop me and say hi. I can't wait to see you in September.

End of the Year Book Return

2008-05-28T08:25:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again! It's time to clean out your locker, clean out your backpack, time to go through all the places your overdue library book couldn't possibly be and find it! And then you need to remember to bring it back to the Library and return it!

The last day to check out books from the library (providing you don't have any overdue books) is Friday, 5/30. After that it's return, return, return.

Magazines

2008-05-06T04:42:00.000-07:00

The library has a variety of magazines for you to enjoy. New issues are available for you to look at in the library while last months issues are available for you to check out and enjoy at home. If you don't see your favorite magazine, drop by and let Mrs. Buckley know, we can try to get them in the library.
