Mark Twain Book Club 2016/2017 was a huge success! Over fifty students were part of this year long club with our library lunches averaging over 20 students. Fifteen students read the required 4 books to allow them the opportunity to vote for the Missouri Association of School Librarians Mark Twain book award. Five students read more than 5 of the nominated books and were featured with their photograph on the "Willard East Library Hall of Fame". Our top readers this year were Isabella W. and Tyler W.
A few teachers joined in on the book club fun. Mrs. McGuire read many of the Mark Twain nominated books and was an awesome mentor to several 3rd and 4th grade students. Fourth grade teachers Mrs. Moore, Ms. Hicks and Ms. Bobeen used the Mark Twain list as a source for class read aloud and continually encouraged their readers by allowing them to take part in the club.
