S.O.S. Save Our Library Our library has been on an incredible journey the last few years. It has charted many courses through the journey of learning. We have expanded our classroom sets that our mentors are using for their classroom curriculum. As we have evaluated our collection in the library itself we are finding the average copyright date to be between 1960 and 1975. We are looking to update our collection keeping the classical flair. Our non-fiction section is in special need for more books, then students will be able to do better research. These are the ways you can help: 1. Purchase a book from our wish list preferably hardbound. 2. Donate slightly used books from your own collection that you no longer need. If you choose to donates books you already own please keep the following things in mind. *We appreciate books that are in good repair. *We prefer hardback books whenever possible because this ensures a longer shelf life. 3. Make a monetary donation to the library. If you choose this option we can choose library bound books from bookseller like Follett Library Resources that are fabulous bindings and are guaranteed for life. When you make a donation to our library we will put a plaque inside the book with your child's name inside. This way your child's legacy will be at Paradigm forever. Thank your for your generousity!!!

Welcome to the Paradigm Library Blog

I enjoyed meeting many of you at our Meet and Greet last week. I first would like to introduce myself. My name is Emilee McCoy and I am the new media specialist here at Paradigm. I have a BS degree from Utah State University in Elementary Education. I have taught 3rd or 4th grade for 7 years. Last year I opened and organized a elementary library at a charter school called Canyon Rim Academy. I realized then that I have found my calling in life and I am in the process of getting my Library Endorsement in addition to my degree. I have a passion for children's literature and find myself reading a book aloud to anyone who will listen. I feel blessed to be here at Paradigm and look forward to creating an appealing library where people will want to mingle and mix and be. I look forward to getting to know each of you better. Thank you for you support here at Paradigm.

Mentor-Parent Meet and Greet

The motto for Paradigm High School is "A Different Kind of Think". That motto can be seen reflected in the new books that we have ordered for the mentors to use in their classroom curriculum. They are nicely framed in new bookshelves behind the librarian's desk and in the west wing of the library. We are so excited by this new addition! The annual meet and greet event for Paradigm High School will be Sept. 22 and 23rd from 5:00PM to 8:00PM. The library at Paradigm will be open for parents to come and peruse the collection that we currently have.
