Welcome to the Roosevelt Reads! Hub
Our Mission: The Roosevelt Reads! mission is to have a school-wide, year-long celebration to unite us as a community of readers and promote a life-long love of reading in any language. By the end of the year, we want teachers, students, staff and parents to be a community of confident, capable, and enthusiastic readers.

ONE AUTHOR - ONE COMMUNITY
For the second semester, the Roosevelt Reads! Committee would like to encourage everyone to participate in One Author- One Community by reading one or more books by Jack Gantos. Jack Gantos is the author of the Rotten Ralph picture books, the Jack on the Tracks and Joey Pigza series for upper elementary and middle school students, and Love Curse of the Rumbaughs and Hole in My Life for more mature readers. He will visit Roosevelt in September, 2009. We have several Jack Gantos books in the library and more on the way, but you might also want to buy your own copies during the vacation.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in One Book-One Community. Based on the number of conversations heard around campus about The City of Ember and the number of times the book has been checked out from the library, it's clear that our community has responded to this novel. If you haven't yet had a chance to read the book, it's not too late to join in the conversation. Look for a Roosevelt Night at the Movies when the City of Ember is released in Lima.

PICTURE YOURSELF READING
Another ROOSEVELT READS! activity!
Parents... we would like to cover the library with photos of your kids reading over the summer break. If you catch them reading, would you snap a photo, print it, and drop it off in the Elementary library in March? The more exotic the background, the better!! We look forward to your photo submissions!

DONATE YOUR BOOKS!
Cleaning house during the vacation? Preparing to move? Donate your used books to the library. Some will be added to the library collection, and others will be used for the book swap next semester.
