Welcome the newest addition to our Library

We are getting closer to the start of school kids (seven days, but who is counting). The new Library schedule is posted on the Library's web site. New book displays are being put up as I type this. Needless to say, I am excited for the beginning of the school year and seeing all my friends back in the Library.

OK- I have to admit that there is one more reason why I am excited to start the year. It has to do with the new addition to our computer lab area; our new Library SMART Board. We are lucky to have one of the newest models of the SMART Board, the 600i. This model has the projector and speakers built onto it and can work with a wireless lap tops. I enjoy incorporating the SMART Board into Library lessons- students find the lessons more interesting and it blends technology, research skills and literacy together. Missed out on a brainstorming session? Do not worry, we saved our ideas using Smart Notebook. Having trouble seeing the text on the article we found on Kids Infobits? Do not fret- we can magnify it using the tools so you do not need to strain your eyes. Did not get that Power Point on parts of the dictionary? We can play Dictionary Hangman using the interactive SMART Board. Having this tool available in the Library will definitely make Library more interesting this year.
