Calendar Template 2014

Hi Tutors,

Summer is right around the corner. We suggest that you and your student take out your calendars and talk about summer plans. Many students have children who are home in the summer and vacation plans that will affect their availability for tutoring.

What if your student doesn't keep a calendar? That sounds like a great literacy lesson.

1. Click the link below to open a template for a blank 2014 calendar.

2.  Print the pages you need and bring them to your tutoring session.

3. Together, you and your student can fill in tutoring, doctor, and vacation commitments.

4. This is a great lesson to do every time you meet if your student doesn't already keep a calendar.

Food For Fines

 

Does your student have outstanding library fines?

Here’s a way to help hungry families and decrease fines by up to $20!

 

April 13-19, 2014

 

The Alameda County Community Food Bank serves one in six Alameda County residents, and it’s running low on food!

 

For National Library Week in April, Alameda County Library is partnering with the Food Bank. We’re inviting library card holders with fines to bring in items for the food bank. For each non-perishable food item brought to the library, $1.00 will be subtracted from the patron’s overdue fines, to a maximum of $20. 

 

The Food Bank needs non-perishable items like peanut butter, canned tuna and meat, beans, rice, low-sodium soups and stews, and low-sugar cereal.  Only non-perishable, unexpired, store-sealed items will be accepted.  No glass bottles, please!

 

The participating branches are:

Albany Library (510-526-3720)	Castro Valley Library (510-667-7900)
Centerville Library (510-795-2629)	Dublin Library (925-803-7252)
Fremont Main Library (510-745-1400)	Irvington Library (510-795-2631)
Newark Library (510-795-2627)	Niles Library (510-795-2626)
San Lorenzo Library (510-670-6283)	Union City Library (510-745-1464)
