LibGuides

Our library has a new resource for staff and students, called LibGuides. LibGuides are research pathfinders and collections of information/resources on a variety of topics. We will keep adding to these as the year progresses, but examples of current LibGuides include information on how to use GoogleDocs, Copyright and Plagiarism, Remembrance of 9/11, Website Evaluation, and Research Steps. Teachers may choose to create a LibGuides for a particular unit of study. Take a look!

As always, please talk to us about any ideas or feedback you may have regarding LibGuides.

Welcome Back to the 2011-12 School Year

September is almost over already. Bookclubs for all grades have begun, and students are busy with classes and sports. High school homecoming is next weekend. All the library Nooks are checked out, as well as lots of new books that came in over the summer. If you haven't visited the library yet, come see us to take a look at what's new.

Yesterday, I came across Hank Green's Read It 1st pledge, which is something he started to get people motivated to read the book before seeing the movie. In 2010, half of the top selling movies were based on books. Take a look at his YouTube video (it's funny!):
