Library News
The school year is going by so quickly. Soon we will be going off to enjoy another summer with family and friends. Don’t forget to get some extra reading material for those summer rainy days, trips, and maybe a summer reading program to boost your children’s reading ability. Children from Kindergarten through High School need to read every day. Summer is a wonderful time to read books just for the joy of reading, not having to worry about book reports or deadlines.
Our children at St. Anthony School have had every opportunity to read library books this year. Pre-School through 8th grade have a time period each week to come in to the library and get their reading material. They are welcome and encouraged to come in after school on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday when we are open until as late as 5pm. We have added dozens and dozens of new books to our shelves this year, and plan to add new books over the summer to be ready for those avid readers in the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year.
Reading is so important for all of us. What better way to travel to places we may never visit in person, go back in time by reading historical novels, learn about Jesus and our beloved Saints, tickle our fancy with a humorous book, stretch our imaginations with books of fantasy, and learn about anything from animals to life in outer space. I hope you all have a glorious spring and summer, and that your children will be reading every day to improve their minds and learn about the world around them. Have a safe, healthy, happy summer. God bless you.
