  • LMC Description

    The Alexander Elementary Library Media Center (LMC) is a fully-automated resource base for all students and staff members. The LMC is staffed by Kellie Vaughan, our full-time library media specialist, and Marlene Faria, a full-time paraprofessional, to assist students and staff members. Students visit the center weekly as part of their special areas time, in the mornings at 7:15 or when they come on a pass to exchange their books. While in the library, students check out books, conduct research, participate in centers, read quietly and work on special projects.  Classes also have literacy lessons, library skills lessons, and lessons that help the students to learn about the various skills and technologies that support information access and evaluation.

  • bookTexas Bluebonnet Award

    The Texas Bluebonnet Award (TBA) reading program was founded in 1979 to encourage Texas children to read more books, explore a variety of current books, develop powers of discrimination, and identify their favorite books. The award process provides librarians, teachers, parents, and writers with insight into young students' reading preferences. It further affords an opportunity to honor and encourage imaginative authors who create books with high appeal to children. Each spring Alexander's 3-5th grade students vote to select their favorite from among the list of 20 Bluebonnet nominees. Click here http://www.txla.org/TBA-nominees to see the 2018-19 list of nominees . The program is a project of the Texas Library Association, and is co-sponsored by the Children's Round Table and the Texas Association of School Libraries.
