News from the HEMS Library
February Edition
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Not only are you checking your school email - you're opening and READING them!! Every month you'll get an update on new books, upcoming events, and general library happenings in your inbox. We hope that this keeps you connected to your library and makes you want to stop in more often!
Playaways!!!
The library has the following titles in Playaway (audio) format. A Playaway is a small MP3 device that, with your own headphones, allows you to listen to a book. Because Playaways cost almost three times more than a regular book, you'll need to sign a contract before checking them out...but, then you can try checking out the print copy AND the Playaway and following along in the book while listening at the same time!!
Missing on Superstition Mountain
The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die
