OREGON READERS' CHOICE AWARD
Right now, Insightful Instigators (see below for all you need to know!) is focusing on getting the word out about ORCA, and participating in the contest themselves. What is ORCA, you may ask? Well, it stands for Oregon Readers' Choice Award. Every year, a group of books is nominated for this award and you, the students of Oregon, get to choose the winner! This is your chance to read great books and give your favorite the recognition it deserves! We'll get the chance to cast our votes in the spring, and whoever reads at least two books will be invited fo a pizza party, and whoever reads eight will have a chance to win a Powell's gift card. Stop by the lbirary and pick up your bookmark, and/or check out the ORCA list right here!

INSIGHTFUL INSTIGATORS
The Insightul Instigators is a new club to Roosevelt this year, and is seeking new members. Do come on by and check it out! We meet the first three Mondays of every month at lunchtime in the library to do bookish things like:
- Reading and discussing books with peers
- Playing fun word games and puzzles
- Planning, promoting, and participating in library events
- Other book related activities
- New ideas welcome
Attending every meeting is not mandatory, but suggested for club members.
