November/December 2022

Demoney Update

The annual Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success! Thanks to the support of families, staff and students, we earned over $4,000 to purchase books and flexible seating for our library.

Demoney's Parent Action Team (PAT) donated $3,670 in gift cards so that each student could purchase a book. Mrs. Christensen's class also made a donation to our All for Books fund to help buy even more books for the library.

We'd like to offer a special thank you to Mrs. Jenson for all the hard work she does to set up the book fair, ensure it runs smoothly and then puts the library back together again!

Look for all the new books we were able to purchase with book fair proceeds displayed in the library soon!

Middle School Update

Genrification of our fiction section is nearly complete! A HUGE thanks to Glenis for her work on this project!

We're working on purchasing library furniture that will create workspaces for both students and staff.

Students can now renew their own library books! Please encourage them to check their Destiny Library account during Study Seminar.

ELC MS Book Fair will be Feb. 7th-11th

High School Update

Our fantasy fiction collection is now shelved while we work toward our dynamic shelving goal for the entire fiction section.

We want to thank teachers and staff for using the shared study hall sheet along with all other communication about students coming to the library. A special thank you to Lizbeth for her diligence in managing this on a daily basis!

ELC Student Council has generously offered to use part of their budget to purchase new library furniture!

PLAEA Lending Library Info:

Click to Search Lending LIbrary

PLAEA Media Library is using a new interface this year for the lending library. This means you won't be able to request things in the same way as you have in the past.

Until they have the "kinks" worked out, they're asking that all requests be done through the school librarian. Feel free to reach out to me to help you search, or search the library on your own and then let me know what you need to order.

Contact me with ANY questions!
