Library, Learning, and Literacy Celebrations Calendar

It's time to take another look at your OPS School Libraries Notebook! In the Calendars and planners tab, we have added a  Library, Learning, and Literacy Celebrations Calendar to give you promotion ideas year round. At the top of each calendar, you will find links to calendars provided by EPIC!, PebbleGo and DEMCO.

Below are a couple examples of the fabulous DEMCO calendars for December:

Neal Shusterman at Barnes and Noble

Neal Shusterman, author of the Arc of a Scythe series, will be at Barnes & Noble Oakview for their Young Adult Book Club on December 12th at 7 PM. He will be joining in the discussion of his book Scythe and then signing books for anyone present. The B&N YA Book Club Edition is available at the store and includes an exclusive Q&A with the author.Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1)

Scythe is the award-winning first installment of the thrilling Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman. A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery: humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now Scythes are the only ones who can end life – and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe – a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking a life, knowing that the consequence of failure could be losing their own. Citra and Rowen will learn that their perfect world comes with a heavy price.
