Katy ISD will be celebrating Digital Citizenship Week at all schools during the week of February 6-10.  This theme for this week  is "RISE Above." Students will receive special lessons and activities to remind them to be safe and responsible users of technology throughout the week.  We will be focusing on words that correspond with the "RISE" theme including Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Etiquette and connect these words to the responsible use of technology. Students can also dress to match each day's theme!:

Our library will be closed to circulation a few times in the month of February—please mark your calendars:

• 2/6/17: Closed at 1:30 PM to accommodate Bluebonnet Bash
• 2/13/17: Closed all day to accommodate Power PLC

Thank you for your patience!

Our Library’s Spring Book Fair is coming soon! The Spring Book Fair will take place beginning Monday 2/27/17 through Thursday 3/2/17 in the library.

Book Fair Hours:

•          Monday 2/27: 8:00 AM*-3:30 PM

 *Only students accompanied by parents may shop in the Book Fair from 8:00 AM-8:30 AM each morning.  The Book Fair is open to students shopping independently after the Morning Announcements each day.

Be sure to look for Teacher Wish Lists at the Fair--these are books that our teachers would like for their classrooms.  Our special Book Fairy will deliver any Wish List books purchased during the Fair to your child's teacher!

Proceeds from past Book Fairs have been used to purchase books, fund author/illustrator visits, fund reading incentive programs, purchase library furniture, instructional materials, and technology. 

Thank you for supporting the OKE Library!
