Welcome to our library blog!

My name is Miss Caddell and I am the librarian at Carol Holt Elementary.

I like to share lots of good things I find in books and about books.  Please explore some of the older posts - I am sure you will find something new and interesting.

We will also find lots of wonderful things on the computer as well.  Here are some of my friends looking for something exciting to share.

Check back here often to find out what new and wonderful things I want to share with you!

Fancy that!

One of my favorite fancy characters is Fancy Nancy.  Our school is planning a Fancy Nancy / Handsome Harry Day on April 26.  We will dress in our Sunday best and practice our best manners all day long!

Love is in the air!

There are lots of gooey sweet books about love to read for Valentine's Day but I don't usually read those.  However, I am up for goofy, silly Valentine books any time.  Here is one of my new favorites:

A part of all our history...

Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis is a Newbery winning historical fiction that tells of a young boy growing up in the Great Depression. This is one of many books that tell part of our history - African American history.

Hobby, hobby, hobby!!

Do you have a hobby? A hobby is something you like to do for fun and relaxation.  You could build or make things like birdhouses, scrapbooks, or train sets, collect things like stamps or playing cards or enjoy things like books, movies, and video games.

Maybe you can find a new hobby by looking through the 700s in nonfiction.  There are lots of art and recreation books to help you decide.
