New Process for Checking Out Books for the Start of the School Year!

8/28/2020

0 Comments

 
For at least the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, students will not be coming to the library to browse and check out books. Instead, students will put books that they would like to read on hold and the library staff will deliver the books to the students. Please watch this video for a demonstration of how that process will work. Let me know if you have questions. 

​If you prefer written directions, you can access those here.

Memorial Day Weekend means Summer Reading has begun!

5/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Maybe you feel like it's been summer for a while because we have been apart for long. But summer is only beginning and we will not be back at school for quite a while. 

Reading in the summer (and always) can take multiple paths -- audiobooks, print books, ebooks, magazines, DIY projects, and much more. The image above contains many links to resources that will help you Blaze a New Trail this summer. 

Keep reading! Contact Mrs. Wilding if you have questions about how to access resources or suggestions for new books or resources to purchase! We will be adding new ebooks and audiobooks in early July.
​
Enjoy your summer and we'll see you next fall!
