Don’t forget that you can also put books on hold and I will get them ready for you and let you know via a Teams message when they are ready to be picked up. Unsure of how? Watch this video. More videos can be found on the “How to Search the Library Catalog” tab.

Did you make time to read over the break? Here are some of the books that I managed to read and what I thought about them.

Summer is almost upon us! With library circulation coming to a close I wanted to point out the many ways that you are able to continue reading throughout the summer months.

E-books through our school catalog are always available, see the “How to Access E-books” tab for instructions. There is also a video on how to use the Libby App with your public library card.

There is also a Virtual Teens Book Club hosted by SPL. All of the meetings happen via Teams with quizzes and prizes.

If audiobooks are your thing, Sync once again has weekly free audiobooks through Sora. Registration is easy and each week there are two YA selections.
