Two boxes of Scholastic books arrived while a 5th grade class was in the library. I was excited, so I opened the boxes right away. It turns out that the kids were just as excited as I was... maybe more! I held up each book one-by-one as I took it out of the box, and the kids ooohed and ahhahed and cheered and even waved their arms in the air! I couldn't stop laughing at them, and I felt like a proud mom, thinking, "How did I get so lucky to get such great kids?" It was an amazing librarian moment. I wish I had taken pictures of the kids with the books and their excitement, but I was too busy laughing. Instead, here are some of the books that got them roaring: I got a few pity cheers for pictures books like Click, Clack, PEEP!, because the 5th graders are just too old for that now. But it was a nice gesture. Thanks, kids!
Also, thanks to Scholastic Book Fairs. The money we make at the book fairs is the primary source of book funds for the library.
