LIBRARY NEWS:

 
LIBRARY CATALOG CHANGE FROM ALEXANDRIA TO DESTINY!
The new library catalog is up and running!  Use the green or yellow links above to visit our library resource page and/or find access our new catalog. 

Destiny allows us to include book cover images and more detailed reviews, to extend your searching to include databases and ebooks, and to friend classmates, write your own book reviews, and to place holds!  We are excited to share the many new possibilities Destiny brings to the SHS school community.

Any books that were not returned that were checked out before December and have not been renewed during the transition, will be soon recorded as lost.  Save yourself a fine notice and return any overdue books this week!

 
LIBRARY BOOK CLUB - JAN. 11th AT LUNCH
Join us in the library for lunch to talk books with friends.  Our next book discussion will be about North of Beautiful by Justina Headley.  Our next books for February 2nd and 29th will be Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld and Malice by Chris Wooding. Both are great reads and have sequels!  Find the bookclub link on the library resource page. 

DATABASE PASSWORDS
Did you know that from HOME for FREE you can access articles from ProQuest, World Book Online, Opposing Viewpoints, Health and Wellness Center, and other databases?  Articles in databases are from magazine and published reference sources.  These are great resources for homework help and research projects!

We can't post the passwords online, but you can get a guide from Ms. Fu or Ms. Gosselin -or- be resourceful and use "sumnerspartans" to unlock the document called Access Guide in the side menu.  Keep one at home or in your binder in case you need library sources for your next project.  You can also access the PCLS databases with your public library card and last four digits of your phone number.
