LIBRARY NEWS

Spring, 2010

Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Iannacci are working hard this spring, getting to that spring cleaning task we all try to avoid. They are aligning the collections to the current MA curriculum frameworks, shifting parts of the collection between the North and South libraries as well as the High School library. In addition, they are providing students and teachers with instruction on how to use the new library management program to find books and conduct research.

Our new library software includes a link to a great educational resource called NetTrekker. This is a tool for research that will provide students with grade-level appropriate resources such as articles, interactive activities, timelines, and more. For teachers, there are lesson plans aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, as well as the ability to create folders of resources for their students to access for a particular assignment.

Try it out!

  Happy Spring!!
