Meet the New Library Staff 

Ms. Wisloski (Ms. Wiz, left) started this fall as the new librarian (Ms. Hayes still works in afterschool!) and is loving her time so far at SA!

A newer-new addition, Ms. Skye (Ellicock) joined us in December and is getting settled in. Library time definitely looks different this year, so read more on the Loans and Policies page for all the details.

  What’s this Bag About?

It’s a challenging year for many of us. In light of the pandemic, and a need for students to keep privacy of book selection and also have books in a safe location at home or in their bags, the library bought these canvas totes to help learners

• remember,
• transport, and
• find their library books. The bags are yours to keep.  (Read 10/30 family letter here.) 
  Two ideas of how to use the bag:
• Send it to school on your student’s library day (link goes to SA Library calendar) with books inside.
• Keep it at home in a known location, so the student has a special place to keep books that are on loan from SA.

Ms. Wiz has some book read-alouds and makes training videos for students online at the school library’s YouTube channel. Check it out!
