Dear Parents,

We are pleased to announce that Shawsheen has a "Summer Reading Incentive Program," through Mad Maggie’s Homemade Ice Cream in North Reading (one block north of Shaws Supermarket/ Boston Flower Market – just after the Ground Round on 28S). Once your child has read a book or you have read aloud a book to your child, write the information on the yellow Mad Maggie’s book card. When your child has read eight selections bring the card in and receive a free ice cream cone. Please note that reading aloud, share reading and independent reading are all acceptable forms of reading literacy which may be put onto the book card.

Please know that as of Thursday, June 2^nd we will not have any more book borrowing from our library. Please, check bookshelves, under beds, in closets as we need all books returned. Classes that have returned all books will receive a Popsicle party.

If you have any questions let me know – have fun reading!

Liz Lamoreaux

Our Shawsheen Library has some exciting news – we are moving to a bigger, brighter, more central space in the building! We look forward to creating a comfortable environment where students can be immersed in literature and have space to interact. This area will also house our technology center. We want to set up our media center for library lessons, reader’s theatre, parent and staff meetings, and small group interactions.
