NEW LIBRARY WEBSITE!

The district Librarian presented the new Library website!! Wow! So many awesome resources to use in the classroom, or for your children to access from home!

Please take some time to review this site with your children, and use it as a regular source for them to access when researching various topics/subjects for class. It's actually much better than using Google with regards to school usage.
