LIBRARY BOOKS....

what to do with all the books out???

Dear Parents,

Questions have been raised concerning late library books. During this sensitive time that our school community is experiencing we will wait until we return to the normal school routine to turn in all library books. I wish there was a way in which students could come into the library and check out physical books. However, prudence dictates that we must be cautious about hand to hand contact, especially library books which are handled by soooo many hands.

Please remember to keep every library book in a safe place -your school backpack!! Clean it out, sanitize it and keep your books in there!

Good news, though! The school's office is open every day 0800 - 1500. If you can, please stop by and drop off any library books. The office staff will turn them over to me.

Thank you for keeping the books safe!!

So.... in the meantime enjoy MackinVia and read some great stories!

HAPPY READING!!!

HCES -School Library Resource

Hello, HCES students! This is Mrs. Johnson from the library.

What a great opportunity we have to explore MackinVia and its resources. We have over 2,000 books on line waiting to be read! We have lots and lots of databases to explore many topics such as Robots which we had been discussing this past week as part of our Technology plan.

  • Please click open the right-hand box and follow the steps to MackinVia using the bottom of the school's web-page. This will insure that you will get to the right page.

  • MackinVia works better with GoogleChrome. So try to open the school's web-page with Chrome. Or, if our web-page is down, again using Chrome type MackinVia.com and follow the instructions.

  • Remember that the MackinVia login offers three blank bars. Skip the first bar, and log-in on the second; type the password on the third bar.

  • Following these instructions will allow into MackinVIA and its resources.
