BHSD 228 Library

Welcome! Our District 228 libraries offer various print and non print resources, maker-spaces, educational technology, and a comfortable space to relax, collaborate and study. As the spaces continue to grow and change, please see the Media Specialists to request any resources. The Media Specialists are teacher/librarians who often co-teach in the classroom and help design technology infused lessons. The student of District 228 each have an iPad to use in class daily. Media Specialists and student tech team members are available to assist students and staff with any iPad issues.

The libraries in our district are continually evolving to create a dynamic and student centered learning space. With all of our student population using iPads in the schools, we are here to assist with iPad instruction and make curriculum connections. The librarians are innovators, infusing technology into lessons and teaching inquiry methods, to meet the demands of 21st Century teaching and learning.
