Make the most of the library from home!
About the Library Blast
While we are learning from home during school closures, I hope to send daily emails every weekday morning. These messages will include cool and interesting websites, videos, book recommendations and more, so that we can stay connected and keep learning!
I want to hear from you!
Please share:
- Memes
- Photos of your pets
- Art or comics
- Recipes
- Book recommendations or reviews (especially those available on Sora)
- Other TV, movie, game or media recommendations
- Playlists
- Funny or uplifting videos
Please email me anything you would like to share at gartleel@spsdme.org!
Sora
Sora is an app that provides access to a collection of ebooks and audiobooks that we share with Memorial and the High School. This slideshow will help you login if you haven't used Sora before. If you have any trouble logging in or using Sora, please email me at gartleel@spsdme.org. Please let me know if you are looking for a book or audiobook that is not available on Sora, and I will do my best to find it for you.

National Poison Prevention Week
National Poison Prevention Week raises awareness of poison prevention nationwide during the third week of March. The week is an opportunity to highlight the dangers of poisonings and promote community involvement in poisoning prevention.
Freedom of Information Day
Freedom of Information (FOI) Day is an annual event on or near March 16, the birthday of James Madison, who is widely regarded as the Father of the Constitution and the foremost advocate for openness in government.
Giant Panda Bear Day
National Panda Day draws attention to one of the world's unique bears. Pandas are also one of the world's most endangered and adored animals.
Maine Bicentennial
Maine celebrates its 200th birthday this week! The Maine 200 website has information and videos about Maine history and bicentennial celebrations.
Radiooooo.com
Radiooooo.com is a really cool website that lets you browse and explore music from around the world and across decades. You can also choose three moods: Slow, Fast, or Weird (my favorite is Weird).
Featured Pets: Oscar and Moonie
These are my lovebirds, Oscar and Moonie. Oscar is a Peach-faced Lovebird and Moonie is a Masked Lovebird. They are both six and a half years old. Their favorite foods are millet, white rice, and sunflower seeds. While I'm home, they like to cuddle in my hoodie for naps.
The Gulls of Great Duck
This is a short audio story I made last summer when I went to visit Great Duck Island off the coast of Bar Harbor and got to talk to the College of the Atlantic students studying there.
