We aren’t even completely done with First Semester, yet here we are, already thinking about Second Semester. That’s just the way it goes in our school system.
We look forward to serving you in the Second Semester of the 2021-2022 School Year. If you haven’t already done so, please be sure to come check out the School Library and find out what we can do to help you as a student at Lord Tweedsmuir, as a lifelong learner, and as a reader!
Have you said “Hi” to Buck lately?
Why not?
He misses you.
Why SSR? (Reason #8 of 3,487,659) Reading allows you to visit other times. You can experience life in other eras, whether it is historical fiction that takes you to the past, or speculative fiction that imagines the future. You can go back to your own past of the the last few years, or you can go back deep into history. You are physically stuck in this time and place but reading allows you to visit other times and places with your mind.
Of course, even better: (Reason #1) Reading for fun is fun.

Why SSR? (Reason #9 of 3,487,659) There are so many good books to read! There are more good books to read than you could ever possibly get to in your lifetime. Don’t waste the time for SSR that helps you get to a few more of those books!
Of course, even better: (Reason #1) Reading for fun is fun.
Why SSR? (Reason #4 of 3,487,659) Reading for fun improves your writing. The more you read, the more you see what good writing looks like (and bad writing too!) You can read about writing, but more importantly, whatever you read, non-fiction or fiction, you see examples of writing. You learn from the examples to make you a better writer. The more you read, the more you are exposed to a wide variety of writing genres, styles and methods. The more you read, the more ideas you get for your own writing.
Of course, even better: (Reason #1) Reading for fun is fun.
Why SSR? (Reason #14 of 3,487,659) Reading for fun increases your concentration. There are so many things that distract us all day long, requiring divided attention for shallow thinking. Reading longer texts for sustained periods requires greater levels of concentration for deeper thinking. The more you read for fun, the more you will be able to concentrate on other things for longer periods of time.
Of course, even better: (Reason #1) Reading for fun is fun.
Don’t be a stranger. There are so many reasons to come to your school library. Having a chance to hang out with Buck is just one of them.
Help out the local Food Bank and the Reading Tree program. A donation of three cans of food, or two new or used books, earns you a photo opportunity with Buck the Library Duck, and a custom made Christmas Card to share with friends and family!
Starting December 2, come down to the School Library to take advantage of this incredible holiday tradition!
