December Challenge, Book Recommendations, and Warm Up with a Book

The holiday season is upon us, and the library is busy with exciting activities for everyone! Whether you're looking to challenge yourself, share your love for books, or cozy up with a new book, we have something for you this month.

December Challenge: Join the Fun!

Students and faculty, are you ready for a little friendly competition? Participate in our December Challenge and earn prizes along the way! Here's how it works:

• For each completed activity, you’ll earn 1 raffle entry.
• Complete a Bingo and receive a piece of candy.
• Fill the entire Bingo board to earn a coveted "Friend of the Library" button!

Print your own challenge board or pick one up from the library. 

All participants will be celebrated at our Hot Chocolate Party on Friday, 12/20 during the lunch block. Don’t miss this chance to mingle, enjoy some hot cocoa, and find out who takes home the raffle prizes—a bookish mug and a Weston blanket.

Book Recommendations: Share Your Favorites!

Write a review of your favorite book and see it proudly displayed in the library.

• Submit your review through this Google Form or stop by the library to fill one out in person. Your recommendations could inspire someone else to pick up their next great read—and bonus—it's also a part of the December challenge!

Warm Up with a Book

Baby, it’s cold outside—but the library is the perfect place to stay warm and cozy! This month, we’re featuring collections guaranteed to brighten your winter days:

• Nostalgic Reads: Take a trip down memory lane.
• Book to Screen: Discover (or rediscover) the stories behind your favorite movies and shows.
• New Arrivals: We have plenty of fresh titles just waiting for you to curl up with.

Browse the shelves or the online catalog to find your perfect winter read!

Curl Up with Kindergartners

We’re thrilled to host Curl Up and Read, a special event where our youngest readers meet our senior mentors. On Friday, 12/20 from 8:45–11:15, seniors from Henry Moon and Claire Schomp's classes will team up with kindergarteners for a morning filled with:

• Reading adventures
• Fun crafts
• Camaraderie and smiles!

A huge thank you to the PTO for funding this wonderful event that brings our school community together.

We can’t wait to see you in the library this December. Stay warm, and happy reading!
