Book Dash 21-22.mp4Book Dash
Face to face students that would like a book between class visits, may put up to three books on hold, and the library staff will check them out to you, bring them to you, and collect the books you are finished reading. View the video if you need help with Book Dash or putting a book on hold.
Students come to the media center every three weeks with their ELA class. There is no limit to the amount of books they can check out at a time. If students would like books between visits, they may use Book Dash (see above).
