The Lego Tower Challenge is off to a good start! We are trying to see how high/big we can make the tower. For every book checked out students/teachers get to add two lego pieces to the tower. For every book checked in; another two pieces. If students actually read the book and complete a brief book review they can add four pieces! How high/big can they make it? Come check it out at the circulation desk!

Mrs. Steck has been coming in with her Senior Seminar students. I was able to give them a review of Noodletools and pull some print resources for their project. Mrs. Steck will also be coming in with her 10th grade classes to begin their research project. They will also be getting an overview of Noodletools as well as the databases we have available to them.
