Welcome to MRA's Mountain Meadow Library


Welcome to MRA’s Mountain Meadow Library


September 3, 2014

Dear MRA Families,

       I would like to welcome you and your students to a new school year!  I hope you were able to read some good books this past summer.  I started reading some of this year’s OBOB (Oregon Battle of the Books) books.  My favorite so far as been “Kizzy Ann Stamps” and “Wonder”.  I am looking forward to creating an environment for a passion and love for books.   I encourage you to come and wander around the library and find some new and interesting books.  

       I am excited to see that our library collection has grown and is growing.  With that in mind I want to make sure that we continue to respect the gifts of books we have been given.  The students will be challenged to understand that our library is a special collection of resources and requires care from all users.  We also will be focusing on how to locate and access different resources.  They will be using the information they gather in their classroom and personal projects.   I hope you will partner with me in helping our students become responsible learners. 

       The students (k-6th) will have a library time each week and will be allowed to check out 1-2 books.  The 7th-8th grade will have library times as needed throughout the year.  They have two weeks to read and enjoy their books.  After that time if they have not returned their overdue books they will not be able to check out another until those are returned.  If a book is not returned or becomes lost or damaged (accidents happen) please let me know.   A fee will then be issued to replace the book unless we can come to another agreement. 

       I am looking forward to a great year and thank you for your support.  Let me know if you have any questions.  iquinlan@mra-k8.com

Happy Reading!
