Thanks to Sara Klever for  donating a set of Harry Potter books.  Our first set was worn out or disappeared.

The ASD adopted a new library computer program this year and we are  slowly learning how to use it.  Many students have overdue books, and I’m asking your cooperation in returning them to the shelves.  There is no penalty for overdues, but if the book is lost, it must be replaced.    In January overdue notices will go out and we will locate books from first semester.  If you would like to check your account, log on to the Steller library site,

click on the Steller library Catalog, and set up an account using your student number and pin which is the last 4 digits of your student number.

If you are using the library during intensives,  please thank the volunteers making this possible.  Karen is out of town, and these parents care enough to give extra time and keep the library open. Regular volunteers, Beth Rademaker,  Chris Lutes, Danni Koenig, Dionne Wills,  Jamie Fernandez,  Jennifer Straub,  Michelle Meyer,  Rebecca Johnson, Sara Klever and Sue Nitisaporn, with special morning helpers,  Jacqui Bohlken, Jeannie Bench, and  Dawnell Smith and another unnamed person…I hope, we have openings at the time of publication.  I also want to thank several people who rise to the occasion and sub on short notice when openings occur.  Sue Monsen, Andromeda Lax, Lori Ostrosky and Alice Meyers are some of them, if I have forgotten someone, please forgive me.  Steller is blessed with wonderful involved parents who give so many hours to the library.

There are  new chairs and computer tables in the library.  Soon we’ll get new round tables and a bookshelf as well.  They will brighten the room, and everyone now has a comfortable place to sit.
