My last 2 meetings w/the ALE Ss were so much fun. We read Earth Yay!, painted garden rocks, checked out books, created pinwheels for summer fun days, & checked out books! The last group was particularly special b/c they’re all seniors and it’s the last time I’ll ever have them 💗

Exciting day for the Comics Club! They had the opportunity to meet @GWillowWilson the author of Ms. Marvel. The students left inspired and pumped up!

ALE st’s @NISDTaft learn the history of the piñata & made their own as part of the library’s Hispanic Heritage Month lessons! Did you know the word “piñata” means “fragile pot” & comes from the Italian word “pignatta?” #TheMoreYouKnow #NISDLibraries #TeamNorthside @TaftHSLibrary

Our Everything Comics Club is in full swing! Today we learned about the origins & reasoning behind Batman Day, which was on Sat, Sep 16, & about the history of Batman, & one of our new members shared his knowledge on the many ways to frame Batman in a comic. Good meeting!

Ms. Woods pushed her art students’ imagination to create designs that will be used as reference photos for future projects using some of the library’s STEM supplies. They did a great job (and they checked out art books too)!
