New and Notable

In the month of February:

• 477 books were checked out (despite only being open for 14 full school days!)
  
• 7 Spanish titles were checked out
• 751 students came to the library on their own with a pass. Many of these include Dr. Davis' 7th grade students that have been working diligently on a Texas History game project!
  
• An average of 63 students visited the library on their own each open day in February.
• The library hosted a CAC meeting, a presentation from the Austin Fire Department with a cool projected interactive map, Counselors' Coffee Talk, NAEP Testing, TELPAS testing, and makeup testing.

We received 13 new books this past month. Many of our new arrivals are part of either the 2019 Lone Star List or the 2019 Maverick graphic novel list chosen by the Texas Library Association for 2019. You can find links to both lists and information on our library homepage.

These are our newest Spanish titles for the Small Library. Did you know we have increased our Spanish collection so far this year by 22% and it's still growing? That's right, we have a limited Spanish collection but we have many Spanish speaking students and an increasing number of students enrolling in our Dual Language program and our goal is to fulfill their reading wishes in our collection. Our collections is growing with novels, graphic novels, and nonfiction titles!
