In our new normal for distance learning the children can connect with me on FlipGrid. I will be posting links for each of our classes in Google Classrooms so they can tell me about books they are reading or just check in and say hi!

Destiny is the program we use in the Library Media Center to catalog our books. Long gone are the days of card catalogs...now students can search online using Destiny and find not only the location of a book, but a summary, pictures and reviews. Destiny may be accessed from the LMC, the classroom, or even from the comfort of your home.
Click on the Destiny link on the school district’s home page all of the school names will appear. Choose Manetuck and then choose the Catalog Tab at the top of the page. Students can choose to search by Keyword, Title, Author, Subject or Series.
The Virtual Reference Collection (VRC) is a selection of databases and special software that permits the user to log in with the same password for each of the different databases. This is the place we go to for CREDIBLE information for our research.
This is a website that is accessible from anywhere. Students and teachers can use it in the library, classroom or home. All you need is your username and password and you are ready to research!
