Did you know Family Literacy Day is January 27th? The SCA library is celebrating literacy week from January 21st to January 25th. Throughout the week students "caught reading" at different times will be given a small prize. SCA students are also involved in creating "Book Spine Poetry." Over the past two days students have stopped in to the library during lunch hour and created a wide variety of unique and interesting poems using library books! Pictures of our poems will posted soon! Participating students receive a small prize and their name will go into a draw for a larger prize at the end of the week. On Thursday January 24th the library will be hosting a board games event. Students are invited to drop in and play various board games - Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Cranium and many others! Stop by and join the fun! Our big literacy event will be a book swap to be held on Friday February 8th. Literacy week is the kick off for our book swap. Students have been asked to bring in gently used unwanted books that they may have at home to the library and in return students will receive a voucher to take a gently used book at the swap for free on February 8th. All books for the swap must be in by February 5th. The library will also be selling previously used copies of books for 25 cents to $1.00 in price during the swap! Be sure to check out other literacy week activities at local organizations near you!
