Attention all Demigods!!! Want to see the movie “The Lightning Thief” ?!!! Just come down to the library and take a Reading Counts quiz and pass it the first time with 80%. Your name will go into a drawing for a chance to go see the movie!! If you have already taken the quiz, just give me your name and I will enter you in. You have until February 5 to take the quiz. The drawing will be on February 8th and on the 9th (hopefully) you will find out if you are one of the lucky winners and find out when we will go. If you aren’t a movie winner, you still could have a chance at some fun consulation prizes!!! Ask for more details or have your questions answered in the library from Ms. Wilcox.

Hope everyone had a great summer and ready to start a fun new school year. The library got a shot of color with some new red walls and new seating for the computers and lounge area. During back to school night, September 3, I hope you will stop by to see some of the changes and adopt a new fiction book for our Reading Counts program.
See you there!
The WMS library will celebrate National Library Week, April 13-17, with the theme “READ like a ROCK STAR”!! There will be a special book display featuring famous performers and musical groups. A trivia contest will be held each day to test your music knowledge. Fun prizes will be awarded. So head down to the library and Rock out.
All the district libraries have a new circulation system call Destiny. It is web-based, which means if you have internet access, you can access the library catalog. WMS students will be creating their own user names and passwords so they can take advantage of the library catalog at home. They will be able to see what they have checked out, search the catalog, hold books, and search the internet with Web-path express. Just click on the following link, bookmark the site and start searching or click on the link to the left to get to Destiny. http://destiny.willardr2.net
