Blog Updates

We have updated some information on our blog.

Please note:

1. There are a few changes to our Resources page:  


2. There are new printable program calendars for September and October on our calendar page.

3. There is now a page and submission form for teachers to submit assignments that will require library resources.  By submitting this information, it allows librarians to prepare and order materials in advance for students who come to the library for resources.

4. Leveled book lists will be available on the blog beginning in September.  They will have their own page, so look for that tab in the upcoming weeks.
