WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU! 

Mrs. Fansher is here to support you with assistance with technology and information literacy integration and professional support.

Some of the services offered include:

• Get More Out of Google - Teach students tricks and tips for more successful and efficient Google searches.

• Digital Research - Students can take advantage of our school subscription to NoodleTools to create completely digital research projects including digital note cards, outlines, citations, works cited, and papers. 

• DISCUS - Database instruction tailored to your subject area or project needs. 

• Overdrive - Show students how to access free ebooks and audio books and demonstrate access through computers and devices.

• Library Guides & Destiny Collections - One stop information for student projects and unit studies. Ask Mrs. Fansher to create a Library Guide or a Destiny Collection for your next project. 

• Readers' Advisory - Mrs. Fansher provides a series of lessons to help students take responsibility for their reading. Students will learn how to effectively use all of the features in Destiny Discover and how to use online tools such as Goodreads and Novelist. They can even have the opportunity to "speed date" with library books to find their reading match. 

• Technology Tools - Want to add a little technology to your lesson? Mrs. Fansher can help! 

LIBRARY POLICIES

• Teachers may send up to 3 students at a time to the library. If your students need special help please let us know in advance. Each student that you send to the library must have an individual pass in their own agenda. Please remind students to sign in and sign out upon entering and leaving the library. 

• Treat the library as a classroom (or better!)

• Teachers and students should not bring food into the library. All drinks must be in cups with tightly sealed lids. 

• Please refrain from talking on your phone in the library.

• If your group would like to reserve the library after hours for a special event please check with Mrs. Fansher and Mr. Wynder to make your reservation. Groups should not bring food or drinks into the library, should rearrange any furniture back to the way you found it, should call a custodian if cleaning is needed.

• Please let me know the exact date that you would like to begin reading the book and how many copies you will need. 

• Checkouts are for 6 weeks. Let me know as soon as possible if you are going to need them longer so I can check on availability.
