Lunar Eclipse on Sunday

Where do you find books about space in the EMES Library?  Why the 500s of course!  Yes, that may be a slim excuse for posting this on the library site, but I told students about it this week and promised I would post information about the Supermoon Eclipse
Here are 2 videos from NASA with some information about this event and you can find more information on www.space.com with details on viewing time -- roughly between 9 and 11 on Sunday night.

Dorothy's Book Club is back!

Dorothy’s Book Club!

We invite EMES 4th through 6th grade readers and their families to join Dorothy’s Book Club.  Dorothy’s Book Club will read four books from the Dorothy Canfield Fisher (DCF) 30 Nominees.  In order to vote in April, students must have read at least five of the 30 nominees.  The Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award is for middle grade readers (VT students in 4th through 8th grade).

Readers club requirements:

• Students must have read the book (or be most of the way through the featured book).
• Family members do not have to read the book for students to be able to attend, but we encourage family reading.
• Readers can choose to attend all or some of the evening sessions.
• Each “Dorothy Evening” will include activities related to the book as well as  light refreshments.
• Please note that we have a few of the Dorothy titles available in audiobook.
