Citizenship in the Digital Era
It is critical that we continue to teach our students how to be proper "digital citizens." This guide, produced by the School Library Services of the DOE, can get you started with helpful lesson plans and good ideas.
MyLibraryNYC
Did you know you can borrow sets of books for your students from the public library? FHS Library has renewed its subscription to MYLibrary NYC. Teachers can order up to 10 copies of one title or a range of books on a particular subject. Browse the selection at mylibrarynyc.gov. If you are a new teacher, stop by and I will give you a library card number which gives you access to extended borrowing privileges and many other perks.
Student Opportunities
If you would like your student to be a literacy ambassador for our library, have them complete the library challenge. Have them sign up online, then speak to the librarian, Ms. Bayer, for details. My goal is to have them read books, report to their fellow students about new books in the library and participate in the book selection process. Let's get our circulation up! Encourage your students to read and borrow books from our collection.
