Exciting things are going on in the Jollyville Library! Last week we were awarded a $2500 grant from the RRISD PIE Foundation. These funds will be used to expand our transitional chapter book collection. These books bridge young readers from picture books to traditional novels. Transitional chapter books usually have larger print and more illustrations than other chapter books, as well as easy to follow story lines. Many series such as Junie B. Jones or Magic Tree House fit into the transitional chapter book category. The familiar characters and repetitive story structures in these series support young readers.
Our library is also now decorated with the Special Reading Spot contest winners. Ten entries were selected by our voters to be displayed in the library. These photos will be on display until we have new winners from next year's contest. Thank you to everyone who entered!
Stop by the library to see our beautiful photos and our GIANT check on display!
