Welcome to Bryant Library!
In the Spotlight
Beat Summer Slide
Although off to a late start, summer's finally upon us, which means it's time for Bryant Library's annual Summer Reading Bingo. If your student did not receive a form by the end of school, email ahaliverti@seattleschools.org. We designed our Bingo to encourage readers to reach broadly--break out of the tried and true--and beat "summer slide."
Literacy experts note that summer slide of learning, occurs when students are out of the school habit. For a little more information, visit this Scholastic website. Fortunately, reading, in all its shapes and forms, can help students maintain those sharp noggins! Reading to self, reading with someone else, being read to, or listening to audio books are all ways to stay ahead. Some resources for book ideas:
Enjoy summer and READ!
Bryant Book Fair
Raises $2,500 for Our Partner School!
On the week of June 3-7, Bryant Library hosted a book fair from which all proceeds benefit Seattle Public School students attending Read-a-Rama: an outdoor literacy camp, which seeks a lasting impact upon learning outcomes and attitudes toward reading, literacy, and literature, particularly for those most in need of intervention.
The Bryant Community responded enthusiastically to this endeavor, and we experienced standing room only for several days! We are pleased to provide our friends with $2,500 towards their endeavor. Thank you to all the Bryant moms who helped set up, run, and take down our fair. And thanks to all our patrons who eagerly attended our fair--we couldn't have done this without all of you.
