The BEST Library News
Information and Resources for Families 4-1-2020
Greetings Families!
Please feel free to reach out to me through email or by tagging the library on Twitter @bestelemlibrary if you have library questions or products to share. I want us to keep in contact!
I have been busy helping staff find good resources to share and working within our library catalog online to clean things up there as well as trainings and meetings online. When I am not working, I have watched some movies and shows. I have also been doing a lot of organizing around the house and reading of course! I also make sure I get outside each day for a walk. What are you up to?
I am going to be sending out newsletters to you as another way to keep you informed. I am also giving classroom teachers ideas to send out to you through their Schoology courses.
We have so many online resources available to us. I hope you will take advantage of them.
Don't forget to follow the library on Twitter as I share things I find on there or retweet from our District Library twitter.
@BestElemLibrary
I am thinking of you all and sending good thoughts and prayers.
Love, Ms McGinley
