Glad to See You Back!



Welcome to the new school year.  After a week and a half, we are in full swing.  Classes are starting in the library next week on Tuesday September 2nd.  I am excited to welcome everybody back to the Library and hear about all the fun books you have read over the summer.  This year we have some fun things planned during library time so come prepared to have a GREAT time.

One big change you will notice right away is that Mrs. Allison is not here anymore.  We miss her and wish her the best of luck with all she does.  We will have a new Media Assistant soon and we are excited to welcome her.

Have a great weekend and we we will see you next week!

Be Your Best

"Whatever you choose to do in life, be your best." This is what my father taught me when I was a child. In 2009, I chose to be a media assistant at Bella Vista and my focus has always been to make the library the best it can be so others will gain a love for reading books and visiting libraries to last a lifetime.

You don't have to wait until you're grown up to be your best. You can be your best now and the possibilities are endless! You can be the best student in class, the best daughter or son at home, the best friend to others, the best citizen in your community, even the best at reading 20 minutes every night to become the best reader you can be.

Being your best can be hard sometimes but it is worth it! I promise, you will feel good about how you live your life when you do your best.

The NumberlysRecently, I read a picture book called The Numberlys by William Joyce. The only thing that exists in the Numberlys' colorless world are numbers.  A few of the children decide they won't settle for what already exists. They want something more than just numbers. They work hard to come up with different ideas to improve upon what is already there. They create an even more wonderful world by adding letters, words and color to life!  When you do your best you will create a more wonderful world too!
