As part of Catholic Schools’ Week the library is hosting Community Readers during library class times for grades K-5 for the next 2 weeks. We kicked off our Community Reader program with our own Fr. Steve reading to Mrs. Y’s 2nd grade class this morning right after our Catholic Schools’ Week “Kick-off” prayer service. Fr. Steve read Why Christmas Trees Aren’t Perfect, by Richard H. Schneider. It was a wonderful story about generosity and not judging someone by looks alone. 
Miss K’s First Grade class was fortunate enough to have Mr. Lynn Coleman,
Mayor Steve Luecke’s Assistant. Mr. Coleman spoke about some of his responsibilities as the Assistant to Mayor Luecke and his former work as a police officer. Mr. Coleman brought 2 of his favorite books to share with the class,
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and
Harry’s Sweet Dreams by Mark Tarner. Most of the students had heard both books so Mr. Coleman read a really lovely book called
Our Tree Named Steve, by Alan Zweibel.

Greetings everyone! I have been remiss in keeping up this blog so I decided it was time for a makeover and a fresh start. There is so much going on this week it seemed to be a perfect time to get back on track. What will you find here? I plan to include happenings in the library, information on new books, mini book reviews, major events at the SJCPL and anything else that happens to cross my mind. Feel free to write back with your opinions on the new theme, ideas for subjects to post or any other comments.
