Library Page

Children's librarian Ms. Susie has added a cool new feature to the young adult section of the library--a wall teens can write on!  Okay, so technically teens will be writing on the paper covering the wall, but it's cool nonetheless.  Ms. Susie will post different questions on the wall for teens to answer.

The current question is based on a survey conducted by the American Library Association which asked 6000 teens what their top reads were.  The results were narrowed down to ten books, with New Moon by Stephenie Meyer at the top of the list.  Ms. Susie is asking all Hales Corners Library teens what their top reads are and the response has been huge.  If you haven't had a chance to check the wall out for yourself, come in soon and add your suggestion or, if you're looking for a good book to read, find a recommendation.

Remember, new questions will be asked in the future so be on the lookout and let your voice (or magic marker) be heard!

These twins couldn't be happier with their new library cards and book bags!

November is Get Your Card and Read Month at the Hales Corners Library.  Any child signing up for his or her first library card between November 1^st and 30^th will receive a plastic book bag containing a button, magnet, bookmark and library card holder.

Additionally during the month of November, students at Hales Corners Elementary and Edgerton Elementary have the opportunity of winning a classroom visit from Ms. Susie.  Each time a student checks materials out at Hales Corners, he or she will receive a coupon which will count as one point.  The classroom with the most points will get a visit from Ms. Susie. 

The materials may be checked out with a child’s or parent’s/guardian’s library card.  Children may register for a library card as soon as they are able to sign their first and last name.  Children 15 years of age and under need their parent’s signature to get their own library card.  Parents will need to bring an official photo ID (such as a driver’s license) with their current home address or two forms of ID, one with the current home address and one with a signature. 

This promotion lasts through the end of November and the winning classroom will be announced the week of December 3^rd so students, hurry in and check out materials today!
