KHS Library and Information Services

Welcome to the KHS Library Blog! 

With the start of 2007, we are initiating a new method of communication that you will hopefully find useful.  The intent is to provide you with timely information through a weekly posting that may include special announcements, Librarian's "Pick of the Week," a weblink that you may find interesting, notable book awards, information on library services...

You may view this weblog from the "District Blog" link on the MSAD 71 home page or you may subscribe and have the  updates delivered directly to you by entering your email address and clicking on the "subscribe me!" button.

The American Library Association (ALA) announced the top books and videos for children and young adults...including Caldecott, King, Newbery and Printz awards...on Monday, January 22.

 A list of all of the 2007 literary award winners can be found at:

Kennebunk Free Library & MSAD #71 Librarians Debut Summertime Treasures

The newest edition of the Summertime Treasures will debut at the Kennebunk Free Library on Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 6:30 PM in Hank’s Room. Librarians from the Kennebunk Free Library, Louis B. Graves Memorial Library in Kennebunkport, and MSAD #71 will talk about this latest 15^th edition of the booklet, soon to be distributed district-wide to all students.

Area librarians read and review hundreds of books in an effort to select titles that will provide a high quality reading experience. They suggest grade level groupings for titles; however, these are only guidelines. Many of the books can be read and enjoyed by a wider audience of readers. In yet another aspect of collaboration between the libraries, school libraries will lend their copies, which would otherwise be inaccessible over the summer, to the KFL for patrons to check out. Many of the titles in the booklet will be on display for browsing and checking out.

We hope that you and your family visit with the librarians that evening and will enjoy exploring many of the suggestions. This list is also available online at http://staff.msad71.net/khslibrary/home.htm

Be sure to check out the summer programs at our area public libraries! 

Both Kennebunk Free Library www.kennebunklibrary.org and the Louis T. Graves Memorial Library in Kennebunkport  www.graves.lib.me.us  host summer programs for children, tweens, teens and adults!  For more information visit their websites!
