Start of a new school year at the Library

Hello,


I wanted to take a moment to say hello at the start of another school year.  You can take a look at my post about the library resources at https://techwizardsguidetolibrarymagic.blogspot.com/2017/02/library-resources-at-citi.html  and a few of my other posts on this blog can be helpful too.  The campus library is not yet ready but watch for an announcement on that hopefully soon.  

For planning purposed the curriculum library is located at 4th Street.  You can reserve materials through the library catalog at http://vbe.osw.opalsinfo.net/bin/home. It may take at least a week to get materials to you through the courier.  You are welcome to stop and an browse the materials in the curriculum library, but nothing can leave without being checked out.  All teachers can check materials out using the catalog.  If you would like to pick items up instead of by courier please email me so I can have the items ready for you. 

I will also be updating our subscriptions lists and making that available too.  Please do not post our user names and passwords online for these accounts.  Any questions or requests contact me and I will try to help.

I would like to share one new resource for reading that is free for teachers to sign up and set up their classes.  I would recommend signing up with your Google Accounts (and students) to make this easier (@citiboces.net)  Whooo's Reading is completely free. 

Whooo's Reading - The Accountability of AR Without Multiple Choice. Whooo's Reading is a higher-level thinking alternative to Accelerated Reader. Get your students writing about what they read. For more information please go to their website at https://www.whooosreading.org/


You can reach the Library Media Center at extension 460 or email Ms. Cummings tcummings@citiboces.org
