Library Card Campaign Results in Community and Collaboration at The Cube at Castleberry

To celebrate National Library Card Sign-up Month, The Cube hosted a drawing giveaway for students who returned a parent-signed application for a River Oaks Public Library card. Eleven students AND their families returned library card applications for the opportunity to choose a gift basket from The Cube's giveaway stash. The winners of the gift basket drawings were:

       Arnoldo C. (9th)            Guadalupe T. (11th), not pictured             Taryn J. (10th)

                                                                             

 Arnoldo chose the Perilous prize package, which included a copy of Will Wilder: The Relic of Perilous Falls, a selfie stick, and a pair of earbuds. Taryn elected for the Read the Book: See the Movie gift basket, including a copy of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and a variety of movie snacks. I caught Arnoldo and his friends making good use of his new selfie stick after school in The Cube!

One of my highlights of the library card sign-up promotion was having the pleasure of working together with Veronica Clark at the River Oaks Public Library. Not only did Ms. Clark provide the applications for CHS students and families, but she also donated a book and a $20 gift card to Half Price Books for the prize baskets. I am thankful to have a public librarian, who is so eager to partner with the schools in Castleberry ISD and who really has a heart for providing the River Oaks community quality resources and great spaces to enjoy at the ROPL.

Kelly Shelton, teacher-librarian at Castleberry Elementary caught one of my favorite readers, Elizabeth J., CHS 11th grader, while she was volunteering at the River Oaks Public Library after school. Elizabeth also volunteers for Mrs. Shelton at the CE after-school science club. Check out why Elizabeth loves the ROPL below!
