WELCOME BACK!

The summer has come and gone and we are back for another exciting year. Looking forward to the 2016-2017 year and hoping students are ready for an action pack time with a lot of new adventures in learning, living and listening to all that goes on in the NHS community!

We have been busy getting the library settled for our students and staff. New books have arrived, new databases added and we are ready for our students to join us!

As we kick off the year, we have moved to a new model for our Com Sem. Interest-based Community Seminars have been launched and were a big success the first day. Supporting the interests of our diverse community we are celebrating our Com Sem's with our first back to school display!!

HAPPY SUMMER!!!!!

Congratulations to all students for another successful year!! The library wishes all students and staff a most relaxing and enjoyable summer!! Read lots, relax, go outside and enjoy life! See you all in the fall!!

Students in between exams!

Congratulations to Seniors!!

 Congratulations Seniors!

Today is graduation for our seniors! It has truly been a pleasure working with this class for the last four years. To watch them grow from young green freshmen into blossoming young adults has been a true gift. We wish them the very best in their next adventures and can not wait to hear all about the many accomplishments they all will have.

 

Love our Preschool Classes!

This is the last week of preschool library classes. It is truly the highlight of our day to see the littles walk into the library full of spirit, smiles and sunshine for story time! Like the seniors the preschoolers have gone from shy, quiet kids to confident, excited library story timers!! For those "graduating" to kindergarten we will miss you so much. For those who have another year we will see you in the fall!!!

 Come and Get'em Read for Pleasure!

We have receive many new books to the library just in time for the summer. Please come down and take a look and check some out to read on the beach, on vacation or while relaxing in your house!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

The feel of summer is in the air!! Memorial Day weekend is just about here. It is the official last day for our seniors and the weather is finally warm!!! There is definitely an air of excitement and happiness at school as we all prepare for the last few weeks of this year.




The library had a the distinct honor this week of being presented a beautiful gift from the class of '65. Last year, the 1965 graduating class had their 50th reunion and part of their weekend-long festivities included a tour of the new school. The class was so impressed with the library they wanted to make a gift donation. After careful thought they decided on something that would last "throughout time," and this week we were honored to accept a beautiful clock that will watch over the library for decades to come! On behalf of the class of '65, Nancy Carr and Dzintars Rozitis presented myself and principal Brian Harrigan with a beautiful clock. We are so thankful for such a nice donation and believe it will be a beautiful permanent fixture to our library!

Happy Friday!

 Author Visit-Jen McMahon

As we move into the final weeks of school, everyone is looking ahead to the summer and the excitement warm weather brings. Although the weather has not been cooperating in the warmth department I am hopeful we will have a hot summer!!

Last week we were fortunate enough to host local author Jen McMahon in the library as she lead a  discussion on the writing process for Ms. Napier-Bernstein's Creative Writing class. Ms. McMahon is not only a celebrated young adult author but she is a parent of children in the district and has a vested interest in sharing her craft with our local students. Ms. McMahon has written Bohermore and has received strong reviews. The students and teachers were so impressed with her discussion and learned a lot. We love hosting authors and I want to give a shout out to Ms. Carrick who is always so adept at bringing in engaging authors for our students!

"You Look Wonderful Tonight"

It's Prom night and there is an air of excitement and happiness throughout the school! Here is hoping the rain holds off for everyone going and it is a safe and fun night for Natick High!
In honor of the prom, the library has celebrated "prom throughout the years" we have dresses from years past, photos throughout the decades and some great books all about the special night!!! Students get a kick out of what was "fashionable" back in the day.

Here Comes the Sun......

 "Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right"-The Beatles

We Hope!!! It has been one long gloomy week outside with the constant rain and gray skies since last Saturday. But it has been sunny and buzzing in the library this week. AP exams began and the library has been full of students studying and classes using the library while exams take place. It is hard to believe we are in the last 30 days of classes before the summer!

Robot Invasion

"This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare"-David Bowie


Ms. Lavezzo's Spanish 3.1 and 3.2 classes created robots to  describe future problems in the environment,  and to make a robot and say what it will do to help! The robot had to be made with at least 3 recyclable materials.
