Isinglass and Flume voting time!

Just a quick reminder to vote this week for your favorite Isinglass book or Flume book. We are collecting votes in the library through Friday, May 1st. You can also vote for your favorite Flume book online.

Also, Thursday, April 30th, is "Poem in Your Pocket" day. The idea behind this day is to carry a poem with you and share it with someone at some point in the day. Check out the Academy of American Poets' website for more information. We have poems in the library for you to choose from, or pick your own!

New eBooks in the Library!

We have just added 20 eBooks to our collection. These books cover a wide variety of subject areas, and can be accessed 24/7 from anywhere you have internet access. From the library homepage, simply click on Gale Virtual Reference, and once you are on the virtual reference page, you can place your search term in the search box and all 20 eBooks will be searched. Another option is to click on "show all," and then click on the specific title of the book you are interested in searching. If you click on the eBook index, the pages are hyperlinked from that location. If you logon to the eBook site outside of school, you will need a password (see the librarians for password info.).

Some examples of the reference books available online include: American Decades and American Decades Primary Sources (2oth century U.S. history), World Eras, Major Acts of Congress, World War I, World War II, America at War, Colonial America, Middle Ages, American Social Reform Movements, Student Animal Life Encyclopedia, and Bowling, Beatniks, and Bell Bottoms: Pop Culture of 20th Century America.
