As most of you might have heard, our library has recently been
home to some exciting events. Rancho Pico recently participated in the
celebration of Teen Read Week. Teen Read week is a nationwide initiation that
encourages kids to read. It allows teens to acknowledge their personal agency
to decide what they want to read, and highlights how important it is to do so.
Rancho Pico engaged in this event by opening up its library to the pupils at
this school. Mrs. Mellinger allowed only the first one hundred students to come
in and participate. On October 17, literary enthusiasts gathered in the library
to eat their lunch, a special occasion for our library. Dessert (a cookie), and
a special treat were handed out to each of the students who came. While there,
they indulged in watching a captivating film, “Hotel Transylvania.” As students
were exiting the venue, they were given a small gift bag to thank them for
taking part in the event. It was a lot of fun! Be sure to make it to this event
next year!
