GENEALOGY LOOK UP A BOOK'S CONTENT NoveList librarians and contributors put together different types of articles to help readers no matter their age. In these articles, you’ll find information on diversity and content in picture books, gothic fiction, weird westerns, and more. NoveList Plus's Book Discussion Guides offer unique content that you won’t be able to find anywhere else, including original questions (and possible answers), a summary of the book, and further reading suggestions — all designed to help book discussion leaders and members think about books in a new way. NoveList K-8 Plus is a database of book recommendations. Whether your library or school uses Accelerated Reader levels, Lexile levels, or both, NoveList K-8 Plus lets you search for books with your kids' favorite story elements, then limit by reading level so you can hand your young reader a just right book.

GENEALOGY DONATE The Neosho Newton County Library is entering an exciting phase in its 139-year history. A $1.8 million expansion to the existing facility has been completed! We are especially proud that the expansion was completed without asking for a tax increase or bond issue from our Newton County taxpayers. We conducted a sale of certificates of participation and raised the entire $1.8 million, with many local banks and businesses purchasing the certificates. Additionally, due to conservative stewardship of the public funds afforded to the library over the past several years, some three-quarters of a million dollars have been saved to put toward the expansion. The $750,000 already bookmarked for the project will allow us to pay back the first several years of principal and interest on the certificates. In the meantime, we have begun a $1 million fundraising project with the goal of raising enough money to repay the certificates early.

STORYTIME View Tutorial "NO IS ALL I KNOW" IS THE 2024 BUILDING BLOCKS WINNER! 2025 MISSOURI BUILDING BLOCKS NOMINEES: 1,000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN Studies show that children who are read to on a regular basis have increased attention spans, more developed listening and language skills and a much larger vocabulary when they enter school. Sharing stories is a great way to develop important pre-reading skills, and it helps children to learn about the world around them. Sharing stories and books with your child teaches them a love of reading from a very young age because they associate reading with affection and encouragement not to mention the wonderful opportunity for bonding. Plus, reading stories together is just fun! 1,000 books can sound overwhelming, so here is a chart to help you set goals and see that it is very possible to reach your goals. CHILD'S AGE AT START OF PROGRAM / NUMBER OF BOOKS PER WEEK: Birth........................4 1 Year Old..............5 2 Years Old.............7 3 Years Old...........10 4 Years Old...........20 Any child from birth until he/she enters kindergarten can participate in the program. The program is self-paced and will depend on how often you read together. Any book read to the child counts and if they have a favorite that you read over and over you count it each time it is read. Each 100 books will be rewarded by the library. Just bring in your child’s reading log and it will be documented. Once they have completed 1,000 books they will be invited to attend a party celebrating their wonderful accomplishment!
