District students enjoyed story time with librarians from Hillside Public Library during July. The district partners annually with the local library to encourage reading during the summer months.
The children’s librarians came in-person for eight sessions from July 16-25. The young adult librarian offered three sessions virtually, as well. Each session had a theme, a read aloud, songs, educational games and more.
During the session on July 25, incoming second graders listened to the librarians read aloud “The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark” and “Smiley Shark.” As part of the ocean theme, they also sang two shark-themed songs and participated in sea creature trivia. Each student received a packet to take home with a calendar of library events, a summer reading challenge, a bookmark and a shark craft.
