OKE Library News

The library will be closed all day on Thursday, January 28th  to accommodate PLC’s.  There will be no Accelerated Reader testing before school on this day.  Students may take Accelerated Reader quizzes in their classrooms during the school day.  Thank you!

OKE 3rd-5th Graders: Don’t forget! If you are interested in participating in our school’s Texas Bluebonnet Award program (voting and Bluebonnet Bash), you must return your forms to the library no later than Wednesday, January 20th.  All students who have read five or more of this year’s nominees and who have returned their forms on time will be invited to vote for their favorite title.   Voting will take place from Monday, January 25th-Wednesday, January 27th in the library.  All students who have read eight or more of this year’s Texas Bluebonnet Award nominees and who have returned their forms on time will be invited to the Bluebonnet Bash. The Bash will take place on Friday, February 5th in the library.  Extra forms are available in the library, or can be printed from the Texas Bluebonnet Award section of the blog.  Happy reading!

Library Volunteer Positions Available:
The Kilpatrick Library is in need of volunteers.  We ask our volunteers to commit to one hour per week on a regular basis.  The duties include helping students locate and select books, checking books in and out to students, shelving books, and keeping the library organized, as well as assisting with various other tasks.

Library volunteers allow Kilpatrick to keep the library opened for circulation all day long.  With library volunteers we are able to offer more activities and programs including book clubs, author visits, reading incentive programs, and more.

The library is at the heart of Kilpatrick Elementary and our volunteers are the beat that keep it running.

If you would like to volunteer, please call or email Prudence Johnson:
