Author Visit with Nicole Brook
Students in Grade 2 and 3 were very lucky to get a visit from the author of "The Amazing Adventures of Abigail Andrews", Nicole Brook. She talked to the students about putting down technology and creating their own adventures using their imagination.
For more information about Abigail's amazing adventures you can check out her books "Pirate's Playground" and "Magical Doctor's Office" from the library or head on over to her website.
If you have a love of writing stories and creating your own adventures, don't forget to check out Nicole's story writing contest! If you have a story you want to submit, give it to Miss. Gauchier in the libary.
"How Many Books are in the Library ?" Contest
Exactly how many books are in the Glen Allan Library? Well the students put their thinking caps on and gave their best guesses. There were SO many close guesses, but these students were the closest to guessing that the library had 12,102 books.
Congratulations to our winners!
