Stewart Elementary Library News
Where Learning is AWESOME!
About This Newsletter
From time to time, I will be sending out a newsletter to you about some of the cool things we have in the library or things I've run across. From great new books to awesome online resources, this newsletter will be a way to communicate what's going on in our library. I will also include other random items that may be of interest to my fellow lifelong learners.
In this weeks newsletter, we will look at 3 wonderful books, 3 useful online resources, and 3 great educational podcasts or vodcasts.
