If you are a dreamer...

 
When I was a student in elementary and middle school... I loved Shel Silverstein... a funny children's poet. He wrote poems and even did his own illustrations. (We should be getting some of his books in soon!)

One of my favorite quotes from Shel Silverstein is:

If you are a dreamer, come in...

(You may recognize that... as it hangs above the entrance of the library
in bright green letters.)


...And what a wonderful message for a library ...a house of thousands of books in one room! ...Books with stories that draw you into a new world... an old world... or a make believe world...  :)

...COME INTO THE LIBRARY!  :D

summer reading in Hoi An

I went to Hoi An for a few days over the summer break while my mom was in town for a week!! It was a GREAT trip! 

Below are a couple fun photos of reading
that we spotted around Hoi An...

WELCOME BACK!

WELCOME BACK!!!



Over the past few days, I keep saying to Ms. Elizabeth... "I can't wait for the students to get back!"

It's so nice to see everyone! ...And I look forward to meeting and getting to know the 6th graders, as well as students new to AIS!

Please feel free to come into the library as often as you'd like... read, do schoolwork, chat with Ms. Winny and myself, work on the 3rd puzzle ball!... or dance to the music!  :D
