This Week at the Library

Students have started to check out library books. All classes come to the library each week. The Pre-K and Kindergarten students sit and listen to a story or two. The older classes have a lesson on library skills and then select a book.

First graders check out one book.
All other higher grades check out one-two books.
Each student is responsible for returning the library book at their next library class (usually within one week). A complete schedule of the classes library time is posted on this blog.

Be sure to ask your child what he/she learned in the library this week.

The gift of reading: Donate a book to the library

If you find yourself struggling to find a gift for the child (or adult) who has everything or if you want to buy a present that is unique in honoring a special occasion, consider donating a book to the Mary Munford Library. Our Marvelous Monarchs Book Bank is a wonderful gift to give. Ms. Yamashev has a list of books she needs to expand Mary Munford's growing collection. You select the book you want to donate. She will purchase it and put a special bookplate inside the cover with the name of the donor or honoree.

You may donate a book to celebrate a birthday or special occasion, recognize a special achievement (graduation, good grades) or in honor of a special teacher or staff.

The book list and donation forms are available in the library or by emailing Ms. Yamashev. eyamashe@richmond.k12.va.us

Did you read over the summer?

If you read any books over the summer, you may have not one, but two prizes for you. Here's how you can earn your prize.
1) Did you read 10 books from the RPS Summer Reading List Bookmark? Check the books you read and have your parent initial each check. Bring your bookmark to the library. Bookmarks are accepted until September 30th.
2) Did you take AR tests over the summer and reach your grade's goal? Students who earned points four times their rising grade level (4th graders must earn 20 points) over the summer will be invited to an ice cream party during school.

Thanks for reading over the summer!

Welcome to Mary Munford Media Center

Starting with Kindergarten, all classes come into the library once a week for 50-60 minutes. During their class, students learn a new library skill and/or hear a new story before they check out their books.
