In an effort to attract more students to the Biography books the library started the "Golden Ticket" incentive.
Hidden within books in the Biography section were 40 Golden Tickets.
Students were emailed and notified through our Library's social media of this new activity and I saw them gather around the Biography section more! YAY, for more biography reading!

LibraryPalooza 2018
One of our proudest and most exciting NISD library events is LibraryPalooza. Middle and High school librarians across the district, and San Antonio, spend the entire year encouraging and promoting the big author event. It is truly a wonderful sight to see young students around some amazing authors asking storytelling, writing, publishing questions!
A group of really awesome librarians work very hard to organize and get the coolest authors for our students to meet and listen to. This event is a great way to expose our students to great YA literature but also to the authors and their writing process of which they share their writing tips and tricks. |

March Madness Book Tournament!
Students voted from the top 16 checkouts in four rounds until finally coming down to one top book.
April is...Poetry Month!
April is Poetry Month. We celebrated with a visit from an expert in poetry slams, Mr. Eddie Vega, the official Taco Poet of South Texas. Students were able to hear him speak about writing poetry and performing it in the style of Poetry Slam. Students later had an assignment to write their own poetry and perform it as well in front of their class. It is always a terrifying experience but one that helps us to learn so much about our peers!
Bernal Library Book Giveaway!
In an effort to spread some literacy love outside of our library walls the library started a book giveaway last year and have continued doing it this year.
This book giveaway is for our Bernal Teachers and Parents! If we want our students to be readers then WE MUST ALSO BE READERS and be the example! Every first Friday of the month a "book giveaway" post is posted on all of our social media avenues. Bernal Parents and Teachers simply must comment or "like" the post to be entered into a drawing to WIN! Super easy and super cool to get a FREE BOOK! |
