Many 5th grade classes have been coming to the McKelvie Library to "taste books!" This has been a unique and fun way to expose students (and staff members) to various genres of books! Five minute "bites or samples" of these books at our McKelvie Library Restaurant have enabled students to self-select books they might want to check out and enjoy a whole serving of. Click  HERE  to see students sampling and even see a staff member enjoying a bite! Books have been flying out of our library as a result of our tastings! Hello McKelvie! Thank you to all of the community members who helped support our Move-A-Thon! This was an amazing event on a perfect fall day. Your support helped to create connections and memories for so many of our students! Click  HERE  to see the Bedford PTG's Rocky visiting our space! He was "rocking" Move-A-Thon sunglasses in support of our fundraiser.  Here in the McKelvie Library we are showing our "Mustang Pride!"...

Thank you to Mr. Robinson who has helped orchestrate Holiday Cards for our Military Challenge. Many students have taken advantage of the cards, directions, and letterbox to help support this wonderful cause. Click  HERE  to see the area I set up in the library for students to write holiday cards to individuals who serve our country. Letters written have been collected in the locked box! The McKelvie students are surely going to bring smiles to many faces during the holidays. The McKelvie library has been a busy place for research too!

Hello McKelvie families! This is a friendly reminder that library materials are checked out for two weeks at a time. Overdue notices are printed each Wednesday as a reminder for students that an item(s) is/are overdue. We are happy to renew an item for a student as long as another student does not have it on hold. The McKelvie LIbrary tries very hard to make sure that we keep popular items circulating! As of late, there have been some "hot" books published that we try to keep circulating so it is important books are returned on time. Students all are able to check their Destiny library accounts to see when books are due and when a hold is ready for them to pick up. I appreciate your support in making sure that books are returned in a timely manner. Congratulations to our 1st Search Slip winner of the year! 5th grader, Reese Garrett, along with MANY others, entered our monthly library raffle by filling out a Search Slip with information regarding the book they are looking...
