library - Irving Library in Oak Park, Illinois

Following Mrs. Tague's lead and asking you to share what books you're reading this week! I am currently reading Just Mercy (adult nonfiction) and From the Desk of Zoe Washington (middle grade novel). I'm looking forward to reading a lot more during our home learning, but already miss my library! -Ms. Noonan

Hello everyone! Wanted to share an amazing document being updated regularly by librarians. It has a list of authors who are reading their books, creating live videos, answering questions, drawing with kids, etc. I hope you find some time to take a look! I plan to do Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems with my niece tomorrow!

We were SO EXCITED to welcome author Liesl Shurtliff to Irving today! It was a blast playing her quiz game show and learning about time travel. We even sang happy birthday to her book Obsidian Compass, which came out TODAY! Thanks to Anderson's Authors in Schools for sending her to Irving!

It's not every day you get to be in the presence of an author AND Olympian. What an awesome visit from Ibtihaj Muhammad! Thanks to Anderson's Bookstore!

It's been a great start to the school year in the Irving Library! We've been checking out books, reviewing expectations, learning self-checkout, playing Kahoots and reading! Stop by the library Wednesday night during Open House to say hi!

Art Fest and the Poetry Slam are tomorrow night! 6:00-8:00. Don't miss it!!

I love the 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament. It was a great time yesterday! The ONE girls team told me, "We need more female leaders in the world." I said, "Well, I see four of them right here!"

Family Reading Night is Tuesday, April 30th from 6:00-7:30. We will be having Swap, Shop and Read and doing culminating activities about A Boy Called Bat. Hope to see you there! Please bring any books to donate to the Irving library.

We are starting our 2nd Annual One School, One Book read this week! We revealed the book today during Eagle's Nest families. Everyone in the school read Chapter 1 and 2 together. Now, it's up to you! Read a chapter every night as a family, answer trivia questions at school every Thursday, and attend Family Reading Night on April 30th for fun activities about the book!

March Book Madness 2019 has begun! First round winners were announced today!

We had two great author visits today! Lori Degman for K-2 and Karina Glaser for 3-5. Two important messages: Don't give up and Write what you love!

Some great stuff going on in the Irving Library around Digital Citizenship and Website Evaluation! Raising smart, empathetic and critical internet users. #fakenewsornot?
