Books Offer Novel Excavations and Surprises

Dear Parents,

The SAISD Library Media Services Department received an SAISD Foundation Grant of $5,000 to encourage children to read more of the books they want to read and also to encourage them to donate a book to their school library!

Here’s how B. O. N. E. S., (Books Offer Novel Excavations and Surprises) works!

1. Your child signs up with the school librarian and receives a reading log. Then s/he reads and logs the required minimum number of books or more:

• 15 Beginner Books OR
• 12 Easy Fiction and Nonfiction OR
• 8 Chapter Fiction and Nonfiction

2. Once our child has read and logged the minimum number of titles, s/he brings his/her reading logs to the school librarian. Entries will be marked by submission date. Submissions will be accepted until Monday, November 28^th.

3. Your child works with the school librarian to select the book your child will donate to his/her school library. The Library Media Services department will use grant funds to purchase the book.

4. When the book comes in, you and your child will have the opportunity to participate in a “shelving party”. A book plate will be placed in the book that reads “Donated by (your child’s name). Then with the help of the librarian, your child will shelve the book.

Thank you for your cooperation in working to support pleasure reading and increasing the number of books into our library collections.

Sincerely,

H. Esperanza Garza

Your School Library Media Specialist,

Maria Elena Garza
