Livonia is the proud recipient of the 2009 NSLMPY Award sponsored by the American Library Association and by Follett library Resources. Established in 1963, the NSLMPY Award honors school library media
programs that are committed to ensuring that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information and that their programs are fully integrated into the school’s curriculum. Livonia's library staff was honored at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago during this past summer and at an award celebration and presentation in Livonia on October 13.

Seventh grade students from Mr. Cripps' and Mr. Kashorek's classes are researching Colonial American craftspeople to enhance their study of Colonial times. The students visit online sites such as Colonial Williamsburg and can find an abundance of materials on the library shelves. They use the catalog on the library website to locate the books they needed. After Thanksgiving, students will present and demonstrate their crafts to their classmates.

Read Colonial America Historical Fiction for extra credit!!! Mr. Cripps and Mr. Kashorek have offered extra credit to students who would like to read an historical novel. You can find book ideas on a display in the library, or by asking Mrs. Duggan-Lay. See the librarian to find out how to create a book review about your book that will then be published on the library website.

Can you guess who this "colonial" person spinning wool in the picture below is?

Livonia was the host of the 2009 Digital Media Festival. There were categories for Video, Animation, Digital Photography, Graphics, Publications, Podcasts and Web Design. Our students won many awards in all categories! Many of their creative projects can be seen through links on this website.
