Welcome Back!
This week our lower grade classes are reading Librarian on the Roof! This is a true story about a passionate librarian in a town in Texas who was dismayed to show up to her new job to find no up to date books for the children to read. She challenged the town to pitch in and donate money to the library by getting up on top of the library rooftop and staying there for several days through some very hazardous weather. I feel a connection to this book since I too try to find money to update the books in the library. Who knows, maybe this school year I will get up on the roof too!
