Literary Lunch - Feast on Great Stone Face Books!

Last week wrapped up another successful season of Literary Lunches - an annual event where students and staff shared the joy of reading aloud and being read to!  Each week during the month of March, students were invited to come to the library during their lunch and their lunch recess to listen to books from the Great Stone Face Award List.  Students love to hear staff members read aloud, and certainly were enthralled by the special voices and accents that certain talented staff members possessed!

Twenty-five chapter books are nominated for the Great Stone Face Award each year, and it is up to New Hampshire students in grades 4-6 to vote for the winner.  Voting at the Maple Street School will take place on Tuesday April 14,  during National Library Week. 

The fourth and final week, we had special guest readers from the Harold Martin School.  The fourth graders particularly enjoyed seeing their friends from their "old" school.  Special thanks to Mr. Carozza, Mrs. Emerson, Mrs. Scammon, Mrs. Wilder, and Mrs. Pond for taking the time to join us.  The Children's Librarian from the Hopkinton Town Library, Mrs. Maynard,  also joined in the fun! 

A big thank you goes out to our MSS staff readers - Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Stokes, Mrs. Follansbee, Mrs. Bewersdorf, Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Aubertin, Mr. Alberici, Mrs. Jacques, and Mr. Bessette  - and to Mrs. Raymond who coordinates the event.
