TOMORROW: Thurs., 1/29, 5-7pm @ Pierce Library

Each year, the American Library Association nominates and awards the prestigious Caldecott medal to the best picture book of the year. As part of our library program, Pierce students in K-3 have been learning about the picture book evaluation process and reviewing and analyzing the top contenders. For the last two months, students, teachers, and families have been reading as many of our "Caldecott Contenders" as possible. Students, teachers, and K-3 families are invited to visit the Pierce Library, anytime between 5-7 p.m., to take one last look at the "Caldecott Contenders" and place their vote. Come find your favorite books, find a quiet corner of our library to share a story, or participate in one of our many Story times (starting at 5:15 p.m., we will have Story times scheduled every 15 minutes until 6:45 p.m). Students unable to attend Caldecott Night will have a chance to vote at school the following day. Please take a look at the list of "Caldecott Contenders". We look forward to seeing you! Happy Reading!!!
