From our literacy coach Ms. Guthrie
We had the incredible opportunity to have the Haverhill Public Lbrary come to our school to help scholars sign up for a library card. Rachel Gagnon, the Teen Services Librarian, came in today with bins of books and forms for library cards. We would like to partner with the library and have all students sign up for a library card so they can utilize all the available resources the library has to offer.
The process for signing up for a card is simple and students have done it in class. All you need to do is sign the form so they can access books.
Once all students have signed up for cards, they will be able to access all that the library has to offer.
If your student did not get a chance to sign up for a library card, please reach out to me and I can get a form for them. heather.guthrie@haverhill-ps.org
Thank you for all you do!
Heather Guthrie
The JGW Team hopes everyone has a great long weekend!
