Summer fun!!

It's almost time for summer so that means it's time for summer reading fun!

Check out the Holt Summer Symbaloo for links to all kinds of reading fun for the summer including the suggested summer reading list at the bottom.  Have fun, read a ton, then come back and tell me all about it!!
 

Some "in-tents" reading!

We enjoyed another year of Camp Wanna-Read-a-Lot this week!  It is so much fun to read in tents "all night long" and it signals the end to another year of Carol Holt Library.  Books are being turned in daily and soon winners will be drawn to pick prizes if they are clear in the library.  Look high, look low, look everywhere you know and find those books!!

Summer Reading!!

I will add more links as I find them.  Don't forget to check out the summer reading lists on the Carol Holt library page. Enjoy!!

Camp Wanna-Read-a-Lot!!

We are winding down another year of Camp Wanna-Read-a-Lot!  It is so much fun to read in tents with flashlights "all night long" and it signals the end to another year of Carol Holt Library.  Books are being turned in daily and soon winners will be drawn to pick prizes if they are clear in the library.  Look high, look low, look everywhere you know and find those books!!

Artists in Residence

Our January Night at the Library is all about Artists in Residence.  Come visit the library at 6:30 and show off your artistic abilities.  One of the books that will be read is one of my favorites:

Honoring our Veterans

November 11 is a special day in the US to honor our country's veterans.  It is also a time to remember those men and women who gave their lives defending our country.
Veterans Day is to be known as "a celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good." - U.S. Dept of Veteran Affairs, http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp

I love technology and I love robots!  We will have our second Night at the Library on February 16 and the theme is technology.  Families are welcome to bring their smart phones or tablets and try out some technology like QR codes and one of the NASA augmented reality apps.  Fun, fun, fun!
