Linked below are each of the Battle of the Books Lists for 2012-2013.
Dear future 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders,
Linked below you will find the Battle of the Books list for the 2012-2013 school year. The Battle of the Books team tryouts and competition will be held in the early spring of 2013.
These books are available at the Cynthiana-Harrison County Public Library, as well as many other libraries and bookstores. It is our hope that this list will introduce you to GREAT literature over the summer and encourage you to continue reading for enjoyment throughout next school year…and, hopefully, throughout your lives!
Whether you read Battle books, novels, e-books, comic books, magazines, etc., don’t forget to READ, READ, READ this summer. It will make your mind that much stronger; not to mention, READING IS SO MUCH FUN!
Have a great summer!
Sincerely,
The Elementary Librarians
All student books checked out from the Eastside library are now overdue! Please return these books as soon as possible. We currently have 160 student books not yet returned. The original cost of these books was $1,771.42. They would be MUCH more expensive than that to replace now, so PLEASE return these books ASAP! Thanks so much!
All student library books are due back to the Eastside Library by Monday, May 14. I’ll have a special treat for those students who have returned all books or paid for lost books!
The following website is very helpful in helping parents determine the appropriateness of books, movies, games, etc. for their children.
