Back to school!

Can you believe it’s already time to head back to school soon?  It seems like just a few weeks ago we were planning our Summer Vacations and celebrating our second year together at England Elementary!

Yesterday was my first day back at England, and I will be busy working in the next few weeks to plan and organize an awesome year ahead in the England Library!

Volunteer Orientation 9/14 at 1:00pm

Are you interested in volunteering in the England Library this year?  Our library is a great place to spend your time and give back to the entire school community!  I am hosting a Volunteer Orientation this Friday, September 14th at 1:00pm in the library. We’ll be discussing and demonstrating the types of volunteer jobs we have available in the library.

Please e-mail me at emily_kupersztoch {at} roundrockisd {dot} org if you plan to join us for the Orientation on Friday!  I’m looking forward to a great year!

Our First Inventory

Our library is looking more and more beautiful every day!  Last Monday, August 6th, our first shipment of 6,500 books arrived and was shelved by an awesome crew!  Then, on Thursday, August 9th, our next shipment of 5,800 books arrived and was unpacked and shelved.

This past Tuesday, August 14th, I invited six of the Bibliophiles (student library volunteers) from my previous school to come to England and have an inventory party to scan all of our library books!  The girls were AMAZING, and we were able to scan ALL of our 13,000 library books in less than 5 hours!!!  They also helped unpack our new calculators and CD players and straighten the library.  I truly appreciate their help this week, because without them, our library would still have a long way to go before being ready!

I can’t wait until next Thursday’s Open House when I get to share our beautiful library with the entire England Community!  Please be sure to stop by and take a look around!

Welcome!

Welcome to the England Library Website!  My name is Emily Kupersztoch and I am so excited to to be your new librarian!  I have been the librarian at Brushy Creek Elementary School for the last four years, and I am thrilled to be planning our fabulous new library, which will be opening in August.  This year is also a special year for me, since I will be celebrating my tenth year in education!

Please see the “Buy THIS!” link in the blue bar at the top of this page.  I am actively collecting your ideas for what you want to have in OUR library!  I would love for our incoming students to fill out the google form and let me know about their favorite authors, books, and series. This is YOUR library!

I love designing and updating our library website and I think you’ll find it very easy to access lots of information here.  It is a priority that our library website is always up-to-date, and will feature news & announcements, program information, learning, and lots of videos, pictures and links.  Keep checking back!

Also, feel free to leave me a comment!  You can leave a comment to introduce yourself by clicking on the “comment bubble” on the corner of this post.  I would love to know who stopped by our website!

I look forward to meeting each of our new England families soon!
