NEWS
Library Update
The library has a brand-new look! In mid-July new, child-accessible shelving was installed and the library received many new pieces of furniture. In addition to this new furniture, many new titles suitable for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers will be added to the collection. Stop by and take a look at the space and grab some books to take home.
Miss Sarah will be sending out a survey to all ASR families about enrolled children’s interests. In lieu of the school’s monthly book club, each student will be receiving larger book bundles curated to their interests at several points throughout the year. Please take the time to fill out this survey so Miss Sarah can purchase titles that are suited to your child’s favorite subjects and characters.
Hispanic Heritage Month begins September 15th, so if there are families who would like to share an aspect of their culture or heritage via a family engagement program, please contact Sarah via email at Simpson.962@osu.edu or in person in the library.
