Teen Read Week Oct. 31st – Nov. 4thOnce again the
BSHS LMC joyously celebrated Teen Read Week, sponsored
by the Young Adult Library Services for Teens and the
American Library Association. Our activities were based on
this year’s theme: “Picture It @ Your Library.”*On both
Tuesday and Wednesday, students were invited to
“Bookmark Yourself.” They chose from six templates
and personalized their bookmarks with text and a photo of
themselves. *On Thursday, students
participated in Book Pictionarybefore school. They chose
book titles from a container and then illustrated them for the
other students to guess.*On Friday, thirty-two students
signed up to play “Name that Book” during their lunch.
Students were divided into two groups who bid against one
another for the opportunity to name a book based on a
verbal clue and up to five images representing the book. As
they played, they enjoyed pizza, soda, and cookies
compliments of the library.
Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11thThe library staff was honored to
assist in hosting the Veteran’s Day Reception. Guests,
students and teachers enjoyed refreshments as veterans
informally shared their experiences with others.
