**From the desk of Miss Drawbond, (mdrawbond@evertontigers.org ) Everton School Librarian:
Everton School Library would like to encourage all parents and community members to check out the school library. It's not just for kids! Community members will be issued library cards to check out books. We have a growing collection of books for all interests and ages!
"The Importance of Reading Aloud to Your Child": Children whose parents read to them tend to become better readers and perform better in school (Snow, Burns, and Griffin 1998). Other family activities such as telling stories and singing songs also encourage children's acquisition of literacy skills (Moss and Fawcett 1995)

September is Library Card Sign Up Month
