CONGRATULATIONS to Steller’s Battle of the Books team. Lorryn Wilhelm Maya Heubner, and Arthur Bell represented Steller at the district Senior High Battle of the Books at Service High School.  They took 4th place. New Battle of the Books titles for 10 -11 will be out soon.

Overdue Books – Overdue notices will go out on Monday, March I.  The beginning of a new quarter is an excellent time to go through your locker, backpack, bedroom, bookshelf, the CAR, anywhere you may have had a library book.  Bring the ones you have finished and get some new titles for the next quarter. Lost books should be replaced or you can pay the $25 replacement fee.  Talk to Karen to arrange replacements.

One of our newest graphic novels, Watchmen, is missing. It’s been in the library for about a month and has already disappeared. If you have it, or know who does, please help it get back to the library so others can enjoy this wonderful book.
