News from the TJH Library!
Titans now have over 120 additional digital titles to choose from in the TJH library. These popular books may be accessed through the Tays online catalog and SORA. Additionally, our 7th and 8th grade Titans may want to utilize another free resource from TumbleBooks. TeenBookCloud is a database created by TumbleBooks for middle school and high school students. They are offering access to digital books and content based videos for students in grades 7-12. Please note that this resource divides titles into Middle School and Teen selections. Some titles in the Teen category are more appropriate for 9th-12th graders. Contact our librarian, Mrs. Pruzan dorothapruzan@katyisd.org, if your student needs assistance accessing SORA or the TJH catalog or if you have further questions about resources including TeenBookCloud.
