End of Semester One - Already!

It's hard to believe that semester one for this school year is just about done. Semester two starts tomorrow, January 28, 2009, as a Day 1.

Look for lots of new books in the library, as we just finished placing an order. Many of the books we ordered were teacher and student requests. Some of the titles include Chains by L.H. Anderson, I Am Scout: The Biography of Harper Lee, Scat by Carl Hiaasen, and The Dead and the Gone, by Susan Beth Pfeffer.

If you have any feedback about our new online catalog, we'd love to hear it!

New Library Catalog

Over the past few weeks, we have been transitioning from our old library software, Spectrum, to our new software, Destiny. Our new software is web-based, so students, staff, and community members can search for materials from any computer that has internet access. Please take a look:

New Hopkinton Middle/High School Library Catalog

On the left hand side of the page, you can also select a search option titled, Destiny Quest. This is a more visual library search interface.

We are excited about this transition and we would love to hear from you regarding your experiences with this new software. Happy New Year!
