NEW STORY. Remember how Calgarians pulled together after the 2013 flood? We can do it again now, writes @calgaryhester, even as we move physically apart. https://t.co/Yy6AWwHBe5
Today I decided, with the possibility of an extended break, that we would drastically expand the number of books that’s students could check out. We had the entire school through the library by 12:45. The shelves are a mess but these kids have some great books going home.
Are you at the Baby & Tot Show today? Come by and see me! We have items for sale and an amazing prize basket! Need a break? Sit down in our Reading Place and read a book with your child.

Studies show that by age 11 a child with less than 10 books in the home can fall a year or more behind in school, compared to their classmates who have home libraries. #WhyWeDoWhatWeDo
