(December Edition)
Happy New Year, Y'all!! I hope you and your family had a wonderful break and a fantastic holiday! I had an awesome break but it is so great to be back and working with Sonntag students, family, and the community. :)
This New Years I decided to make a reading resolution. I plan to read 100 [or more] books by the end of 2012. If you would like to make this resolution, check out my post here. It is a simple and easy way for me to not only to read some great children's, teen's, and adult reads but it is also a great way for me to better serve the patrons of my campus. What's your New Year's resolution?
Another exciting event for the Sonntag library is that I (Mrs. Mattei) won a grant from the Frisco Education Foundation! With this AMAZING grant, 4 iPod Touches will be added to the library for students to use for research as well as finding their next great read!
