Membership in the Wisconsin School Digital Library Consortium, providing students access to a wide array of eBooks filtered for appropriate reading levels and grades. 

Provision of Ereaders for students to read checked-out Ebooks. 

Assistance to virtual students and parents with devices and technical issues as they arise. 

Collaboration with teachers to understand the types of projects they're working on throughout the year and ordering resources to assist with these (e.g., Ancestry Classroom grant, SWANK digital video streaming service). 

Collaboration with Ben Peters on the makerspace associated with the libraries, gaining a better understanding of 3D printing, and purchasing a unit for student and staff use. 

Purchase of a book scanner to digitize all yearbooks and make them available to the public in some form. 

Improved advertising of resources to staff, students, and parents, potentially through ParentSquare or video walkthroughs demonstrating how to access and utilize resources. 

Running usage reports on all resources at the end of the year to better assess if current subscriptions should be re-evaluated. 

Meeting with departments to better understand their needs and how the library can assist in meeting them.
