The Book Fair is coming!

The Fall 2015 Scholastic Book Fair is on the way! The theme of the book fair this year is…
Monsters: Reading is so much fun you’ll get goosebumps!
Our Book Fair will be open daily from 8:00am-3:30pm. On the 24th, the Book Fair will also be open during Parent Teacher Conferences from 2:00-8:00pm. You may also shop with your student online at:
bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/gelibrary
Whether you shop in person or online, all proceeds will go directly to our library to purchase new books!
*If you’d like to volunteer, please call the office
and leave a message for Rebecca Lehew.

Destiny Quest
Destiny Quest is the “kid-friendly” online catalog for our library. The website allows students to friend other students at GES, keep track of books they have read/want to read/are reading now, put books on hold, and recommend books to their friends.
Students have access to Destiny Quest from home! Go to www.gelibrary.weebly.com and click on the Destiny Quest tab.
Students are then able to log
in and enjoy!
