September Library Newsletter

Howdy Falcon Families! My name is Ms. Johnson and I’m the librarian here at McDermott Elementary School! It has been such a joy to welcome back our Falcons from last year and to introduce our new Falcons to our library! Students have already begun checking out books these past few weeks! I'll attach the library schedule below if you'd like to know when they'll visit the library with their class! Students are allowed to exchange their books in the mornings, 7:15-7:40, and throughout the day with their teacher's permission!

If you ever need anything here is my contact info:

Our McDermott Library is open to all readers! Parents/Guardians you are more than welcome to create an account with our library to check out books! You might have younger Falcons or might want to read a book with your Falcons at home! Swing by the library to create an account in the morning, 7:15-7:40, or you can send me an email to set up time that work's better for your schedule!

Watch this video if your student wants to access eBooks and audiobooks at home!

Every year the Texas 2x2 committee puts out a list of books that can be used by parents and caregivers to introduce children to a variety of quality books that will pique their interest and imagination, as well as encourage independent reading!

What do they look for? They read hundreds of books throughout the year and are looking for excellent books that will excite readers, books that are visually appealing and appropriate for both the content and the intended age-level!

The Texas 2x2 list is geared towards Pre-K through 2nd Grade students! If you'd like to read all 20 books with your student this year swing by the library to pick up a coloring sheet to track the books y'all read together! Ms. Johnson can help you get started and check out your first 2x2 book for the year if you're interested!

If you're interested in attending events offered at a public library, checking out additional books, or accessing eBooks or audiobooks; the closet San Antonio Public Library to the McDermott Elementary area is the Cody Branch! If you'd like to learn more about what all they have to offer check out this link to learn more!
