NHS HS Library Weekly Update
Week of April 20, 2020
Welcome back, New Hope-Solebury HS Staff!
At the end of each week, I'll be sharing information and resources which I think may be helpful!
But first...a laugh of the week...

Announcing the NHS COVID-19 Historical Collection
In an effort to preserve part of our NHS history during this period of the pandemic, I've begun archiving media which will help future NHS generations understand what life felt like for our students and staff. I've also reached out to students to submit their own media (ie. journals, photos, videos) to contribute to this historical collection which will be part of our high school library archive.
More information can be found on the library website.
Hogwarts Digital Escape Room
Ginny discovered this fun, digital escape room! Although the theme is Harry Potter, you don't need to be familiar with the books to escape. Share it with your students or try it out with your family. Maybe you even want to create one based on a lesson!
Everywhere BookFest
Save the date! On May 1st and 2nd, authors will be hosting book discussions and reading from some of their books. I'm particularly looking forward to graphic novelist, Gene Luen Yang, as well as Jacqueline Woodson and Jason Reynolds.
Read Alongs
We have a nice collection of Read Alongs in MackinVia which are perfect for struggling readers. Students can read the highlighted text of the book as a narrator reads along with them. Click here for directions on accessing them.
