Library News
We have a lot of good reading days left in the school year, but I want to let you know that the EMS library will close Monday, May 14. All library books should be returned by this date. 

Also, if your child owes for lost or damaged books, now is the time to get those fines paid as well!  If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at jpippig@eldoradoschools.org. Look for summer reading ideas in the May newsletter! —Mrs. Pippig, EMS Librarian
