Library Update
Busy week with testing this week in and out of the library. 
Spanish classes came into the library for review games to help reinforce and solidify specific Spanish vocabulary with their classmates. We have a new online catalog system that started this week. If you are curious of the books available at our library, check the Access It catalog here.

Also, the library has started a Donors Choose for the March 30th #FillEveryShelf which doubles every donation. This Donors Choose is to support our foreign language learners as well as give many of our English Language Learners an opportunity to read in their native language.

These books will be put in a separate Spanish section for ease of use for bilingual students. This is going to be especially helpful in our Genrefied library- where it is organized by topics and subjects.
