Time Out for Reading is a program designed to provide students and staff with a time to read for personal pleasure, enjoyment and relaxation in hopes that this time will spur the reader to set aside in their daily life to continue the habit of reading. It is also a time for students and staff to come together in a relaxed atmosphere to discuss and share ideas about a common reading experience. Refreshments and thematic decorations help to create a mood conducive to open sharing and the creation of new relationships.

September 2009 “Set during World War II in Germany , Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking … novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich . Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau . This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.” (Random House) |
