COuld we handle a woolly in the library?

This week we met Woolly the Mammoth - 

Woolly is highly interested in going to the Library, with reeeaallly good intentions. However....

​Woolly just isn't suited for the Library. Best intentions aside!

Woolly is however, a great example of what we do and don't do in the Library with books and Library bodies.... we don't bellow or thump around like a Mammoth would; we care for our books carefully, keeping them in a safe spot at home & returning them each week so we can enjoy checking out a new book.

This was a super fun way to kick off our first day of check out! And we followed up by embarking on a quick Scavenger Hunt of the Library - students had to find every spot we have from Nonfiction & Biographies, to the check out station & the cozy reading nook; they found our magazine shelf, the Spanish shelf, the Kimochis corner and more!

It was the perfect segue into book hunting & I can tell you, they were really ready to hunt down a book to enjoy it at home for the week.

For me personally it really was such a highlight seeing how enthusiastic & passionate our kids are for Library time - they really do just love choosing a book & that's what it's really all about for me: creating a safe, welcoming spot for children to access anything the inspires them to read, read, read.
