Jennifer Anne Kogler Visit

Author Jennifer Anne Kogler will be visiting Lindero this Friday, December 12. She will speak at three assemblies, Periods 1, 2, and 3. After that, she will be signing books in the library during Period 4, starting at 12 Noon. All students who requested to attend an assembly should be on the list for Period 1, 2, or 3. The assembly lists are posted in language arts classes and in the library. Please see me as soon as possible if you have any questions or think you should be on the list but aren't. If you purchased a copy of The Otherworldlies, be sure to bring it on Friday to get it signed. We will send out notes to all students who purchased books with their book signing times. If you haven't yet purchased a book, we still have a few copies. We may also have copies to sell during lunch on the day of the event. Our copies are directly from Miss Kogler, and for sale for the reduced price of $10. Make checks payable to "Jennifer Anne Kogler."

Catching Up Again

Oh dear! I've gotten behind on this blog again! Please forgive me. Here's what's coming up this week at the library:

• For parents --- Please plan to stay after the PFC meeting on Tuesday morning (Oct. 21) for a library parent education session. I will fill you in on the library's print and online resources. You will learn how to take advantage of the "virtual library" online to access the school library catalog, Accelerated Reader information, quality research links, and other valuable information sources to help your children succeed with their reading and school work. This session will take place immediately after the PFC meeting in the library.
• Lindero Out Loud -- will meet in the library on Friday (Oct. 24) during 6th/7th grade lunch. Miss Collins will get us ready for Halloween by reading scary stories. Space is limited and is first come, first serve. Come by the library to sign up and get a raffle prize ticket.
• The L.A. County Library is holding a bookmark contest, and we have forms for it our library. The deadline to submit them to the County Library is October 23. Turn them in at our library by October 22, and we will make them into bookmarks and take them to the County Library for you.
