We are excited to share with you that for the first time ever Sippican students may borrow books from our library for the entire summer! This week during our library class (onMonday) each grade will be given the opportunity to search our catalog – the link on the right side of this screen – and then request any available library materials.

Important Dates:

• The final day to select library materials will be Monday, June 8th.
• Books will be available for pick up on Wednesday, June 10th between 12-2 p.m.
• Books will be bagged and labeled with student names, and will be available in the bus loop. Please drive up and take your bag!
• Books that are currently checked out may also be returned at this time.
• If you cannot pick up the books, please contact me and we can make alternate plans. 🙂

Have fun choosing some great summer reading materials!

I hope all of you are having a fantastic week so far. We had over 70 families request library books last week – wow! That’s awesome. It took me all of last week to pull the books from the shelves. The books (along with your classwork, art projects, etc.) are waiting for you in the Multi-Purpose Room.

So, how can you pick up those materials? Here are the dates, times, and procedures:

Tuesday May 12: 2020
Project Grow: 8-9
Kinder: 9-10
Grade 1: 1-2
Grade 2: 2-3

Wednesday May 13, 2020
Grade 3: 8-9
Grade 4: 9-10
Grade 5: 1-2
Grade 6: 2-3

Pick up Procedures:

-You will arrive in your vehicle at the bus loop (Park Street entrance)

-Please bring a sign that you can hold up with your child’s/children’s last name and their teachers name(s)

-When you arrive in the bus loop, please hold up the sign. There will be two staff members reading the information

-Please unlock/open the trunk or farthest rear door of your vehicle. Mr. Letendre or Mr. Harrison will place your children’s items in the vehicle and close the door.

If you have any questions please send me an email or a message in Google Classroom. I’m so glad to get some news books into your homes!

We’re so happy to share with you a plan so that you CAN borrow library books! Our books have been quarantined since we left school on Friday, March 13. If you are interested in borrowing books from now until the end of the year you can complete the the request form below. Use the Search box on the right side of this page to search our library. If a book cover says “OUT” it isn’t available. Everything else is first come, first served!

Please submit your books requests before May 8th. They will be ready the following week for pick up or delivery. You may request as many books as you would like!

We can’t have an in-school Fair this spring, which is disappointing. Book Fair week is one of the most exciting times of the year! I love seeing all the new books and choosing lots of new titles for the library. 😦 However, all is not lost! We can still enjoy an online Book Fair! Shopping begins on Sunday, April 5. View the flyer here and you can begin shopping in just a few hours. Have fun! What new books will you choose?
