New Year, New faces, New books!

Happy New Year! I am your new librarian, Mrs. Anderson. I am so excited to be in the library at Aberdeen Elementary for the rest of the school year. I am looking forward to learning, reading and working with all of you.

Speaking of new, keep a look out for the great new library books hitting the shelves this month...

"Dennis is an ordinary boy who expresses himself in extraordinary ways. Some children do show-and-tell. Dennis mimes his. Some children climb trees. Dennis is happy to BE a tree . . . But being a mime can be lonely. It isn't until Dennis meets a girl named Joy that he discovers the power of friendship--and how special he truly is"  (Amazon, 2018)

(Amazon, 2018)
