New Support staff - we welcome Mrs. Burns to the library as the new 5-8 Library Aide.
New Audiobook format - I have 8 playaways now. They are like an MP3 player with an audio book on it, all you need to listen to the book is a pair of headphones. (They run on AAA batteries.) Titles I currently have are: Walk Two Moons; The Watsons go to Birmingham; Surviving the Applewhites; The Giver; Number the Stars; Seedfolks; One-Handed Catch (by Mary Jane Auch); and The Wednesday Wars (2008 Newbery Honor book by Gary Schmidt).Social Studies Resource I decided to update the Atlases I have in the library, and I picked up 2 books that may be of particular use to you. The Historical Atlas of Empires has maps showing the world from 4000 BC to the 21st century. The Atlas of US History shows the US at various points and illustrates acquisition of land like the Louisiana Purchase, and division of states into Free or Slave states, transportation. "A picture is worth a thousand words."
As always, if I can help you in any way, stop down or give me a call.
