End of Year in the Library: Fun Inside and Out!


The weather is great, and the library has moved outside!

Bring your family and friends on the storywalk Daniel Finds a Poem. Calling all friends and members of the Fort River Community! Come take a walk on the path behind the garden. The Rattlesnake Gutter Trust of Leverett has generously let us borrow Daniel Finds a Poem by Mischa Archer in storywalk form. Follow the path away from school and back again to read the book. In order to “turn” the page, you must walk (run or skip) to the next page hanging from a nearby tree or lamp post.

Come check out our 4th graders’ vision for how they will each change the future, the world, and themselves! Each student in 4th grade has a vision statement posted on the walk outside the library.

The 6th grade UTOPIA sculpture is almost complete! Inspiration came from the book The Seventh Most Import Thing, the life of outsider artist James Hampton, and scavenged materials. Come check it out in the 900s section of the library.

The last day to check out books is Thursday, June 7th. 

On June 8-14, every student who returns ALL of their library books (and takes responsibility for any lost or damaged library books) will receive a raffle ticket. Local businesses have been donating prizes for our more than 20 raffle baskets that will be filled with books, toys, and activities to get students excited for summer reading fun.

Axis360 eBooks and Audiobooks will be available through June 30. On July 1, we’ll be switching to Overdrive. All other online resources will be available through the whole summer!

Please say hello! Lani Blechman, Librarian, blechmanl@arps.org, 413-362-1215
