Students and parents are invited to browse the "Take One Leave One" cart, located in the library hallway and take any book they would like to add to their home library. We are also asking that students think about books they'd like share with others and add to the cart. Recycling books - A VERY GOOD THING!

Through our QAE Explorer Store Dr. Seuss hats can be purchased! This will be a great way to not only celebrate reading aloud, but to honor the man who hooked many of us with his stories and rhyme! Click here to view the hats: Adults and Children sizes. If you are able, please order an extra to share.
Be with us for World Read Aloud Day!

Unfortunately, due to changing schedules we are short volunteers in the library. Today begins the search for more support in the library - keeping books on the shelves, checking out and supporting students in their book searching. If you are able or know someone who maybe interested being with us, we are looking for additional volunteers in the library. We'll take any amount of time you can give. The library opens for students at 9:00 - we have some days covered, but still have a few openings. Please so that a perfect time can be found - before, during or after school - we'll take it all!
The computer lab is open during lunch recess - we are looking for volunteers to be in the lab from 12:00 - 1:00. During this time you will be able to observe the programs and sites our students are accessing. Volunteers during this time will also be able to take care of personal stuff, as they will have use of the computer.
Please if you can be with us and volunteer your time in the library or lab.

If you were one of many parents who have been receiving automated emails about overdue books that were returned on time, please forgive the library! There was an issue that has been fixed in properly checking in books before being returned to the shelf. This is not to say other issues will not arise, but for now most books have been checked in. FYI: emails are automatically sent on Friday at 4:00 to those families with overdue books.
I am loving listening to the stories read by our fabulous parents and students. With my daughter, the nightly ritual is to bring the iPad into the bed and listen to two stories. There is a huge connection listening to future peers read. Thank you for those who have participated! It is absolutely NOT too late to record as this will be on going.
Click here for for information about recording a story.
The proud looks from students when listening to stories read by parents is priceless.
For those recording books, please remember to preview and practice reading your chosen book before doing the actual recording.
What a difference it makes when the story is read with excitement, various voices and volume. Headphones with a built in mic are best. Please let me know if you'd like to borrow a pair.

_We have a nice collection (beginning readers, non fiction, classics, Disney, etc..) of books donated from various QAE families. Teachers have gone through the books to add to their classroom libraries, I've claimed many to add to the QAE book collection and my daughter Madeline got lucky and received a few. The rolling shelf is outside the library; please feel free to stop by with your child and take any books that you would like to add to your home library.
All remaining books on December 16 will be donated to Wellspring Family Services.
