Power Searching
Students in Grade 6 have been using the Power Search option in Destiny to limit the results of their searches. They discovered that we have 1,918 biography books in our collection! Limiting their searches narrowed things down quite a bit!
We also reviewed the Dewey Decimal Classification system to make finding books a little easier. We finished up with a Concentration game so reinforce our Dewey knowledge.
Looking for a book similar to one you just read?
You can use Destiny Quest to get recommendations for books. Just click on Destiny Quest (under Library Search in Destiny), search for the book you liked, click on the title and you will see recommendations on the right hand side of the screen.

Book Fair Thank You
Thanks to all who helped make the book fair a success! We raised just over $1700 which will be used to purchase additional material for the Media Center. Thank you!
