Teachers,
As you make plans for the semester, please keep in mind all of the resources the library has to offer you and your students. See below for a few library reminders.
Did you know?
The library now has 21 computers. 16 iMacs, 5 Chromebooks.
You may also reserve an iPad cart or the Chromebook cart to use while your students are in the library. This always works out well and gives the students multiple sources to use in a open learning space!
You may reserve the library for 3 consecutive days.
There is open library time allotted for classes for research purposes.
Students print for free. (10 pages, school related)
Scheduling the Library
The library supports a flexible schedule, which means promoting open library time for all classes.
Language arts classes recheck books each week (30 minutes); however, there is open library time for additional classes. Please check out the calendar below.
Two classes can be in the library at the same time.
Library Orientation is required for all classes.
Please contact me to schedule library time.
If you would like to use print sources as well, let me know in advance what your research topics are so that I can pull any available books for you.
