Book Program comes to Weyanoke Library
Children’s Favorites is a national reading program organized by the nonprofit Children’s Book Council. Young people across the country are reading and voting for their favorite new books this winter, and their top picks – the Children’s Favorites Awards list - will become a free resource for teachers, librarians, and booksellers nationwide in 2024! Teachers and Librarians will also make their picks.
We received more than 550 2023 picture books to review. These picture books – worth up to $10,000.00 – become Weyanoke’s at no cost for our participation in this program.
Reviewing/Voting involves making one of three choices: “I liked it a lot” – “It was okay” – “I didn’t like it”. Student, Teacher and Librarian voting ends February 8th.

🚍 Here Comes the Bus
Want to know if your child's bus is on schedule or where the bus is? Here Comes the Bus® is an easy-to-use website and app that enables parents to see the location of their child’s school bus — almost in real time — on a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.
Parents can track multiple buses if their children don’t all ride the same bus; know exactly when children arrive at school or the bus stop; and receive customized text and/or email notifications about bus locations, schedule changes, or delays.
To get started, download the app from the Apple iOS or Android app store. Check out the Here Comes the Bus and Frequently Asked Questions webpages for more information.
Already using the Here Comes the Bus app? Send your feedback to HCTB@fcps.edu.
Note: eNotify text messaging will continue to be used for reporting bus delays and bus incidents.
