New Yorkers Read -- Round Two!

Yay! We received another grant from Macy's to expand our nonfiction collection and develop programs to encourage students to explore informational reading.  Along with a shipment of fabulous books, there is a "resource kit" that contains Reading Passports, which will enable students to become "Reading Ambassadors" for our school.  In the passports, children will "journey through the world of books," earning an official stamps for each region of the library that they visit (e.g., poetry, animals, history, etc.).
