From The Library
The Library Staff has created a website to share with staff & students. It will provide a landing page that students and staff can use to access many features, including:
Online Resources
How To Guides
News
Help
External Links
Our hope is that staff can share this with students, who can then bookmark it and refer to it when needed. The website will also have a feature that allows students to contact Library Staff directly with questions, concerns, and suggestions.
Here is the link: https://sites.google.com/pdsb.net/cpssllc/home
