FRAPER
Looking for "a little something" for a "little someone"? Well, if you love math games here is one of my favorites. Great simply as practice putting fractions in order from smallest to largest it is also terrific for a quick game of Rummy, Old Maid or Go Fish. Enjoy!

The Story of One
I have long loved this documentary. Now it can be live streamed along with hundreds of other documentaries. I even found a few others I haven't watched and that look interesting!

Request for Letters of Support for the Johnsburg Library's Homeschool Resource Center
I am so excited! The Johnsburg Public Library's Homeschool Resource Center has been nominated for the
National Medal for Museum and Library Service.
"This annual award is presented by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and was created to underscore the significant contributions that museums and libraries make to their communities. The award honors institutions that demonstrate extraordinary and innovative approaches to public service and exceed the expected levels of community outreach."
http://www.imls.gov/about/medals.aspx
Part of the packet of paperwork we need to submit (because there is always paperwork!) are letters of recommendation.
E. Letters of Support
These letters should come from community members who have direct knowledge of the institution’s community service. We recommend that the letters come
from different segments of the broader community served by the institution and from individuals who have either witnessed or experienced first-hand a particular program or service. Address letters to the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services and include them with this Nomination Form.
For these letters I NEED YOUR HELP. Clearly the HRC has been a labor of love for 14 years now (the 13th anniversary of our grand opening is this week!) but I can't write a letter of recommendation for this. These letters need to come from you - the individuals who have benefited from the HRC's existence. Please, please, please - if the Homeschool Resource Center has helped you please write a letter of support.
1) Address letters to the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services
2) Mail the letter (or drop it off): Johnsburg Public Library 3000 N Johnsburg Rd., McHenry, IL 60051
3) We need to have them all "in hand" no later than Oct. 1st.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
