We have added additional videos specifically for our teachers to re-familiarize them with our website, Blackboard offerings, and using the databases. Let us know what else you need to best meet the needs of your students as we begin online learning.

Have a great weekend Cougars! What will we Dewey without seeing you all every day? Keep reading! Ask for book recommendations if you need them. #OHStilLearning

The Librarians are collaborating with teachers to cook up some awesome experiences for when we all get back to online school. Can't wait to see you all!

What does the Library staff have in common? We are using Spring Break time to READ! Mrs Rowley: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, Mrs. Tyskowski: The Nightingale by @KristinHannah & Ms. Newland: The House in the Cerulean Sea by @tjklune Klune. What are you reading? #OHStilLearning

In addition to keeping our minds active we are keeping physically active as well by walking (at a safe distance from others), biking, and birdwatching. We want to be at our best when we see students online soon! How are you keeping active?

Only 4 more sleeps until on-line classes begin. We are soooo looking forward to "seeing" you in the Library again.

As we all begin distance learning tomorrow, do not forget that the library, with many digital tools, is still available as are all of us on the staff. Reach out here or through email if you need us.

The library will hold office hours today and every Tuesday during Cougar Time (10:30-11:15). Both students and teachers are welcome to chat or ask questions about resources or specific projects. Visit your Library Blackboard class for the link. Hope to see you soon!
