	Welcome to the CDO Library    Main   >   Schools   >   CDO   >   CDOLibrary Parent News 2009-2010 Library Hours December 2009-January 2010 The CDO Library is having a great start to the winter season with many good things happening for the school community. We welcome anybody who wants to be a part of the things happening at the CDO library this season. We’d like to encourage students to make use of the talents of Dr. Pamela Reavis. She is a recently retired math teacher from CDO who comes into the library during first and second lunch to help tutor students in math. Many students have taken advantage of her math knowledge but there is room for more. Please encourage your student to make use of Dr. Reavis’s talents if they need help in math class. The evening tutoring program at CDO is back up to full swing and ready for use. We are currently open on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 3:30 -7:30. Athletes who need a little extra help in class can come in and take advantage of this after practice. Wednesday and Thursday evenings find the library open with tutors on duty from 3:30 – 5:30. There is a math teacher on duty any time we are open for tutoring and other subjects are available at different times. You can check the tutoring schedule or call the circulation desk at 696-5710. This is a valuable resource for students who want to improve their knowledge and grades. Another thing we’d like to share is a holiday tradition we have at the library. During the weeks before the holiday break we take canned food donations in place of fine money. At the end of this we donate the food collected to the community food bank. The way it works is for every $1.00 fine a student has we will accept 1 can of food in its place . . . other non-perishable food items are accepted for this too. We have already started this food drive and it will continue through December 18. Please encourage your Dorado to read over the holidays. The Pima-County Public Libraries will be open most of the winter break. In addition, some teachers will give students extra credit towards third quarter for reading over the break. At CDO Library, we will be having a reading drive to encourage students to check out books. For every book a student checks out, he/she will receive a ticket for a drawing to win one of two $75.00 gift cards to the Tucson Mall. The promotion is called “Read Til Ya Drop and Win a Chance to Jingle Bell Shop!” We are able to do this thanks to a generous donation from the CDO Parent Organization. The promotion runs from November 23rd -December 17th. Have a safe and productive winter break!!!! October-November 2009 The CDO Library is up and running with a lot of excitement for the 2009 – 2010 school year. We’ve already started the year with high numbers of checked out books and library use. We look forward to more. The CDO Library would like to welcome its newest staff member, Karen Sather. She is running the circulation desk. Karen comes to us from Amphi High School and is excellent with high school students. She is an avid reader and is very helpful to students who want a little extra help finding the right book for their needs. The CDO Library evening tutoring program is back up and running again. We offer tutoring services in the library from 3:45 P.M. until 4:45 P.M. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. At this time we have a math tutor on duty during Monday and Tuesday evenings, a biology and science tutor is present on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The computer lab and library services are open while tutoring is running. We look forward to another excellent year of tutoring in the library and encourage your student to make use of this opportunity. Two events that will be coming up in the CDO Library are Banned Books Week and Teen Read Week. Banned Books Week will take place from September 28 – October 3; it is a celebration of the freedom to read what we choose. Teen Read week will take place from October 18 – 24. We will be offering book markers, posters and prizes for students who participate those weeks. Come in to celebrate reading and what the library has to offer our CDO community. The library staff at CDO is very excited to be a part of student success our school. We welcome your questions and thoughts. Feel free to call the circulation desk at 696-5710.
