Summer Reading
Overdue Books
If you're ever not sure you can contact the librarian about a student's account or login to Launchpad and go to the Destiny icon (ie the BLACK TREE link on the Library Resources) and find the materials listed there.
There is always the electronic library to add to reading possibilities! There can never be any overdues there because they return themselves automatically.
Books into Movies
What did you think of A Wrinkle in Time? Still waiting to see that one!
Ready Player One was a young adult or adult book (definitely language and a couple non-elementary kiddo situations) but it was a fabulous book for older 80s fans. Ms. O listened to Wil Wheaton read the audiobook but hasn't made it that movie yet, either.
Have you read a book about the REAL Stubby? There are print and electronic ones available. Then go see this family friendly movie!
And on May 8 a movie from the Boxcar Children series will open!
Electronic Resources
The Overdrive standalone app will still work, though you will need to log in with the long NEISD network login credentials.
BrainPop, Jr has returned, and we now have BrainPop! Both are available via Launchpad!
If you would like the generic login info to use on the standalone app outside of Launchpad for a home device contact Ms. Oliverson.
