 What will library look like this year?This year I will be pushing in to classrooms for library instruction and book circulation. Library will now be part of the “Specials” rotation. Students will still be able to check out new books each week. Kindergarten and first grade check out one book at a time. Second, third, and fourth graders may check out two books at a time. All books checked out have a two-week due date and may be renewed on an as-needed basis. All returned books will be placed in a 72-hour quarantine before being put back into circulation. I am so excited to get books back into the hands of the children! Do you have a library book at home?

 Thank you to all of our Tarver-Rendon families for making our book fair incredibly successful! A huge thank you goes to all the wonderful volunteers that took time out of their day to work at the book fair! I feel so blessed to have such great parents and grandparents at our school! Special thanks to our book fair chairperson, JENNIFER JENKINS! She did a fantastic job! If you missed out on helping this fall, contact Jennifer and she will let you know when she gets ready to recruit volunteers for the next book fair.  The library is open from 7:30-3:30 each day. All classes visit weekly for instruction and checkout. Students may also utilize our Open Check Out program which allows them the flexibility to visit the library individually on a more frequent basis. Students in kindergarten and 1st grade may have one book checked out at a time. Students in 2nd-4th grades may check out two books at a time. All books may be checked out for one week and may be renewed on an as-needed basis. Parents are welcome and encouraged to come to the library before and/or after school to check out additional books for their children.

As most of you know, I am retiring at the end of this school year. I can’t begin to thank all of you enough for all your help with book fairs, visiting authors, and simply encouraging your children to read. I hope and pray that Tarver-Rendon’s next librarian will feel as loved and supported as I have felt through the years. It has been a joy and privilege to be a part of such a wonderful school and to have had the best job in the world for all these years!  Please continue to encourage and challenge your children to read this summer. There are so many fun programs and incentives for them to enjoy. Here are just a few:
Mansfield Public Library Children’s Program – https://www.mansfieldtexas.gov/library-childrens-programs Burleson Public Library Children’s Program - https://www.burlesontx.com/208/Childrens-Programs Half Price Books Feed Your Brain Summer Reading Program - https://www.halfpricebooks.com/fyb/ Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Program - http://www.barnesandnobleinc.com/our-stores-communities/summer-reading-program/ HEB – https://www.heb.com/static-page/article-template/H-E-Buddy-Reading-Club/ BOGO Book Fair! It’s almost here – the event you’ve all been waiting for! Our BOGO Book Fair will be held in the library April 22-26. All items are buy one, get one free, including pencils, posters, etc. This is a great time to stock up on summer reading items. The series packs are great to buy and split with a friend. Then you can trade them and have twice as much to read. If you’d like to help, please contact our PTA Book Fair Chairperson, Jennifer Jenkins. Thank you, Whataburger! Through a generous donation from Whataburger, we have been able to purchase a large number of books through First Book Marketplace to send home with our students for summer reading. I can’t wait to give them out at the end of the year! Every student will get at least two books. What a great friend we have in Whataburger! Please thank them the next time you visit their restaurant. The library is open from 7:30-3:30 each day. All classes visit weekly for instruction and checkout. Students may also utilize our Open Check Out program which allows them the flexibility to visit the library individually on a more frequent basis.
