Newbery Award Winner
The word has been out now for a few days that Neil Gaiman’s book, The Graveyard Book, won the 2009 Newbery Award. While you are waiting to find a copy of the book to read, enjoy the author reading the entire book. After listening to the book, spend some time exploring some background information on the book as well as some extras about Coraline, the movie. Finished? Try playing sudoku with images from The Graveyard Book. Enjoy!

Guest Readers
Our own Fr. Nate was our guest reader for Mrs. L’s 2nd grade class. He read one of his favorites, You Are Special, by Max Lucado. The students always enjoy this special book that reminds them of their own uniqueness . 
Mr. Tom Coxey from the YMCA of Michiana read to Mrs. L’s Kindergarten class. Teamwork was the theme of the story Mim, Gym, and June, by Denis Roche that the class heard. Working as a team and staying active can make anyone successful! Mr. Coxey also passed out copies of the Spring schedule and encouraged everyone to come and visit the YMCA.

Community Readers
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.

We got in a lot of new books over the summer that we are getting ready to put on the shelves for you. We are also always open to suggestions for book titles you would like to see in the library, so don’t hesitate to suggest your favorite title, it might become someone else’s as well. I am setting up a bulletin board /Words Move Us/ for you to suggest some of your favorite titles to your friends. Good reading!
