March is Women's History Month, and this week grades K to 4 will be hearing books recognizing interesting achievements by women. Grade 5 will hear Dust Devil, sequel to Caldecott Honor Book Swamp Angel, both of which feature a larger-than-life heroine in a clever tall tale. DK will be thinking about the rainy days of spring: revisiting the water cycle and musing about whether the weather affects our moods.
The library will be closed this week on Thursday, March 24, from 8 to noon, and all day Friday, March 25, so Ms. Barbara can attend an off-campus training in preparation for the district libraries' software update. Classes have been rescheduled for the coming week: Warner, Monday (3/21), 2:15-2:45; Barney, Wednesday (3/23), 12:20-12:45; Harding, Thursday (3/24), 12:10-12:40; Rumble, Thursday (3/24), 2:15-2:45; Ahrens, cancelled for this week.
Ms. Vavao has rescheduled her class's library visit this week to Wednesday, 11:30 to noon.
The next reading selection for the book club for grades 4 and 5 is Keeper, by Kathi Appelt. The Manhattan Beach Public Library (310-545-8595) should have copies on hold for club members at the reference desk by the middle of this week.
The Scholastic order forms are due to the library by March 31.
March 21 and 22, the library is accepting donations of new or gently used K-8 books for the MBMS Access Books drive.
