Cubs Rock!!

Well Cubs, have you heard that this year's school theme is "CUBS ROCK!!"? We are certainly ready to rock in the library. Please take some time to drop in and help us create a recommended "play list". Each student will be given a mini MP3 cutout to list their favorite book on. We will compile all of these suggestions to a one massive play list! We are also looking for students to come in and record special podcast to help promote their book. New podcasts will be posted on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are looking for kids in kindergarten through fifth grade.

Welcome Back to the Library!

It was wonderful seeing so many cubs in the library this summer for our summer reading program.We had so much fun learning about fable, fairy tales and folk tales from around the world. I am so proud of how much reading everyone did this summer. Please remember to turn in your summer reading logs.
