Library Statistics from the 2nd Six Weeks
It's been a busy six weeks in the Skeeter Library! We held our first checkouts of the year through English classes, collaborated on several digital breakouts, and created database video tutorials for research projects.
It has been such a joy to find ways to support classes digitally and to establish safe ways to provide students with books they love!
Want to collaborate on an assignment for your class? Email or give us a call! We are happy to help!
