__Book Fair__
Thank you to everyone who supported the book fair; it was a great success! We purchased many new titles and used some of the profit to purchase videos that were requested by some of our staff members. We are still ordering library books and videos, so please send me a request if there is something that you want to add. We will try our best to get them. The next Scholastic Book Fair will be from April 26th to the 30th.



__**Storyteller**__
Anne Shimojima, a long-time librarian at Braeside, will be at Northwood on Thursday, March 4th from 11:20 to 12:40. She is going to present to our sixth-grade students as a culminating event for their Folktales unit. Anne has delighted youth and adult audiences of all sizes with her graceful and spirited tellings of folktales from her Asian heritage and around the world. Her thirty-plus years as a school library media specialist have given her a rich knowledge of story and a keen ear for performance. Anne has also taught graduate courses in storytelling and for seven years was on the Board of Directors of the Wild Onion Storytelling Celebration in Chicago.
