Hope everyone enjoyed their short, fast summer and are now ready to start a new year. It has been kinda of crazy this summer around the book shelves here and there, but we are ready to focus on all the learning that will take place through out our libraries.
I am pleased to announce that our library system is now being hosted by Follett, which means we now have several new features for you to use. The links are here: Clark Library , Klein Library and Rolling Ridge Library. Take a look around and remember you can request books from the comfort of your home or anywhere there is a connection. We can pull the materials and have them ready for you. Another way to access the library homepage is by going to the school of choice homepage and under student, you will find library.
New staff members can stop by so that you can be put into the system. Remember, to please have you class return their books in the morning if at all possible. It makes it so much easier for the aides when they are by themselves.
Also, we encourage borrowing form the other schools in our district. There is a drop down menu box on the webpage that you can access the other libraries. With that being mentioned, 2/3's of the books from Klein are in storage and are not available now. So that might be the exception. Please ask for help if needed.
The classes not scheduled for first semester, will need to see me about setting up a time for book selection. My calendar schedule will be posted on the board in the libraries.
Check out this cool site called Explore- Live cams available at explore.org
Have a great year...
