A day in the library

People were awfully paranoid about the iPad taking pictures in the library last week, even when I said it was just a time lapse video experiment. Here's a day in the library in 20 seconds—be sure to look for Samuel and the spinning clock.

Poetry Reading #2

Thanks to everyone who participated in our second-ever poetry reading in the UL library. It was a great morning to be a listener. We heard poems by Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, Billy Collins, Shel Silverstein, and by Galloway poets including Mary Kate, Molly, and Kayla. We also heard poems in German and Spanish. And, of course, a lot of Nutella and croissants were consumed as well. Thanks especially to all the teachers and staff who attended from EL, ML, and UL.

And the victor is...

Congratulations Max P. for winning the Galloway Library Hunger Games! See more photos here. Thank you to Cameron, Michael, Connor, Darya, and Jennifer for taking charge of the reaping. And thanks to all the tributes, too.

Effie Trinket is Here

Don't miss The Hunger Games Reaping TODAY at lunch in the UL courtyard. The Capitol invites all 7th-12th graders to participate or observe The Games!

The Games Are On!

Readbox

Here's our new Readbox—created by Lakota and Cameron, our UL library aides. So many movies of YA books are coming out soon. We are pretty excited for the Nov. 22 premiere of Catching Fire. There will be a reaping in the UL courtyard on Nov. 21 for 7th-12th graders. Put your name in the bowl if you think you can survive the Quarter Quell!
