We were excited to meet Mike Thaler- author of the Black Lagoon Series recently during the Burrow Library Services Book Harvest. He was very entertaining and inspiring as he has produced over 200 published books.
Mr. Graham's Fifth Grade skyped with Mr. Curran's Fourth grade in Detroit, Michigan as both classes read the book Regarding the Fountain by Kate Klise. The students shared their favorite parts from the book and ended the skype session by reading "NEA's Read Across America Reader's Oath.
We were so honored and excited for Mitchell First Grade students to meet and talk with author Hans Wilhelm. He has written over 200 books- some of which are in our library. First Grade students read "I'll Always Love You" and "Wake Up Sun" in preparation for the visit with Mr. Wilhelm.
5th Grade students will be reading the book "Regarding the Fountain" by Kate Klise this 9 weeks. Students will be participating in a wiki with classes from across the United States.

Fourth Grade students will be reading the book "Harriet the Spy" while in the library this 9 weeks. As an introduction to the book, students drew pictures of items and wrote descriptions of their person, place or thing much like a spy would do.
