The summer pleasure reading lists prepared by the district's library media specialists can be viewed from the district website. (Reading list books are shown at the right.) This week I will be reading a book or two from the list for each grade. Please note that these lists are not required reading, they are only suggestions for parents and students looking for reading material during the summer. Students entering 6th grade at MBMS do have required reading, and the list for those students can also be seen on the district website.

Next Wednesday, June 1, students in TK, kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade will attend an assembly presented by the children's librarians from the Manhattan Beach public library. The Los Angeles County Public Library always offers a summer reading program, and that's the subject of the assemblies. From 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. on June 1 the public librarians will be available to chat with PK families in our school library. Please come by and get to know these friendly, knowledgeable librarians!
