Bondy Intermediate Library

Here is the complete list of the Main Character Summer Reading Challenges! You can turn in any of these activities to earn points all summer! Incoming 7th graders, you may need to keep a log for your Beanstack points until the start of school. If it is allowing you to upload pages, you are good to go! Show off your main character energy by checking out the challenges here: https://tinyurl.com/MCEChallenges

Make it a great summer!

This week's challenge is a Scavenger Hunt! As you complete each item, take a picture to document it. Once you are ready to submit, feel free to submit pictures or a collage but you can also get creative with it. For example, turn it into an epic movie or a slide show to share with others. Get creative! Use this link to submit your photos: tinyurl.com/SRC25Hunt

Remember, the challenges last all summer and prizes will be handed out at the start of school. Pages submitted in Beanstack count toward the challenge.

Bondy Library is proud to present our Summer Reading Challenge! Do you think you have the Main Character energy to be a top reader?? Get signed up today! First challenge will be announced soon - but in the mean time you can get points for logging your reading into Beanstack!

School may be closed but that doesn't mean you can't curl up with a good book from the library! Check out a book from Sora through ClassLink.

The Winter Read Challenge has now started! The steps are easy: read, log pages and write a review in Beanstack, and, if you are one of the top readers, win prizes! The top intermediate school will receive Chick-fil-a! See Ms. Hermes for more details!

Come find your summer read for the Summer Academic Challenge.
We will also be open June 19th and 20th from 8am - 2pm.

Wednesday is "Whatcha Reading Wednesday"! Mrs. Vavricka is our reader this week and she recommends The Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger. Sound like your next favorite read? You can find it in the Fantasy section of Bondy Library.

October is Cyberbullying Awareness Month. Cyberbullying can happen anywhere online and anyway - from a mean comment on a picture to a private message. Learn to recognize the signs! If you feel you are being cyberbullying reach out to a trusted adult for help. Anonymous Alerts is also available 24/7 via online and in app form.

Today is Tech Tuesday! Remember when sending an e-mail, you need to use more formal language.
Instead of saying:
"Yo Ms. Hermes, Will the library be open 2day? Im rdy 4 a new book rn."
Change it to: "Hello Ms. Hermes,
Will the library be open today during 5th period? I have finished my book and I would like to check out a new one.
Thank you, Katie"
