Dear Madison Street Parents,

The library program has some exciting opportunities in store for your child this year:

• Our program will be promoting the very best of children's literature to your child.
• We will be doing our very best to get (or keep) your children "hooked on reading" by recommending specific reading materials to each individual.
• We have already added over 100 new fiction titles of the latest and most exciting new books for young readers.
• We will be working with classroom teachers to help them find materials especially suited to the individual interests and abilities of your child.
• Library lessons will stress good Digital Citizenship,helping your child make safe and ethical decisions when using the Internet.
• We have a lot of special events being planned, Florida Reads Activities, including book fairs, featured author study from the Ocala Civic Theatre and reading contests.
• Sunshine State Young Reader Award and Florida Reading Association titles are already on the shelves. This year we have Sunshine State Young Readers Award Junior for grades K thru 2.
• The library is open for students with their parents every morning before school and Wednesday afternoons after school until 3:00.

Our staff is ready and excited about this coming year and is committed to making the library your child's favorite place in the school!
