A limited number of students were invited to join Anasazi’s new Library Nook Club as we are piloting color ereaders purchased with Capital Override funds.  The students meet every other week before school to discuss their reading. Their color Nooks have been loaded with nine award-winning titles. Students love the ereader features that allow them to look up word definitions and higlight passages of text. Depending on the success of the pilot, Nooks may be purchased for other sites. At this time our school owns 12 color Nooks.

Volunteers Needed...
"We can not always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Parent and grandparent volunteers are an important part of the Anasazi School Library Program.  If you have a couple of hours each week to donate to the library, we could use your help with shelviing books, checking books in and out, assisting students in finding books, helping students at the computers, and working with us on special library projects to promote reading and assist classrooms with their reading needs.

If you are interested, please contact me or my assistant Mary Cole. 
 

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year!

Students will have access to the Anasazi Library collection (Destiny), all ebooks & research databases this year by logging in with their student ID numbers and passwords. Parents, be sure to try out the new ebooks on the Destiny database. You will recognize them when searching for books by the

underneath the title.

TruFlix are wonderful nonfiction e-books with information in science and social studies for higher level readers and this year we have also added two new PebbleGo databases for younger learners; Earth and Science and Biographies.
These are great interactive resources that will satisfy the curiosity and informational needs of students.
