Elf on the Shelf is Back!
Have you seen Alvin the Elf in the Library? Beginning Monday, December 4th start looking for the elf on the shelf when you visit. Don’t expect to see him hanging out in plain sight, he likes to find a quiet place to read. If you see him hiding, bring him to Mrs. Gee to pick out a treat! He will move daily so keep an eye out.
Card for Mr. Weber
There is a card just inside the Library Media Center for you to sign if you wish. We are putting together a care package to send to Mr. Weber at his place of deployment and he would love to hear from all of you. If you get some time to stop in the library to sign it, I am sure he would appreciate it! Thank you!
Library Art Project
Book Folding Art - Fox
Are you looking for a unique gift for a family member or friend? Stop by the library to pick up directions and a discarded library book to create your very own masterpiece. By simply measuring and folding pages, you can create a special gift for someone. Ask Mrs. Gee for help and then get started on your project! Not only are you taking time to create something unique, but you are also saving a book!
High School Book Club Event
Mistletoe Mystery Book Exchange
The Omro High School Book Club will be giving away new and gently used books to High School students during lunch on Thursday, December 21st. Stop by the table near the Cafeteria at lunch to take a book home for the holidays.
What's the catch? NOTHING! Except you won't know the title and author. You will pick out a book based on a few words written on the wrapping paper. It's like Blind Date with a Book, but for the Holidays! If you are intrigued, take a book. It's yours to keep!
🎁🎅⛄Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the High School Book Club! 🎄❄️☃️
