March fun included dressing as book characters, Festival of the Book events, our school-wide Free Book Swap, and touching history, as students enjoyed special floor maps and artifacts, thanks to the Albemarle Resource Center and the Virginia Historical Society!

February saw our library shift from a planetarium and camping space, to three new incarnations: discotheque, restaurant, and museum. Students "tasted" books from a diverse literary menu representing over 20 countries. Later in the month, in a collaboration with the first grade team, the library was transformed into a Museum of African American History. Students explored hands-on materials, books, and used tablets and QR codes to learn more about the famous African Americans. My favorite image, blurry though it is: one student dancing, another reading. Ideally the library space can accommodate such diverse needs. Unless otherwise indicated, all photos McGill, J. (2018).
