McKelvie Library News Blog

February vacation is here! You could feel the excitement in the air as we celebrated our second full-in Friday. The McKelvie Library had almost three pages of students who signed in to browse and use the library. That is over 100 students! We also fulfilled about 30 holds that students had requested. I am so thrilled that our students are actively using the library and Destiny Discover. Many were excited about building their reading stacks for break. On Wednesday, 64 new books arrived. We are busy processing these new acquisitions and getting them into the hands of our readers. New books 📚= reading excitement! 😊 This is a repost from last week! Please don't forget: February  break is here!  The library is looking for photos of where books went over break. I would love to have photographs of books (it does not have to be a school library book) with their readers to display in the library windows with the caption "Oh, The Places Our Books Go!...

You could feel the excitement in the library as the gold and blue cohorts met up and became green for our first full-in Fridays! We had a steady stream of students browsing and returning books and also using the library as a space for a quiet brain break. It was so much fun listening to their conversations about being all back together. The McKelvie students have shown grit and willingness to adapt as we keep our library open! I am so impressed by our McKelvie Library students.  February  break is ALMOST here!  The library is looking for photos of where books went over break. I would love to have photographs of books (it does not have to be a school library book) with their readers to display in the library windows with the caption "Oh, The Places Our Books Go!" This can be as simple as snapping a photograph with you and book in a comfy spot at home or you and a book in the car heading to the mountains of NH for a ski day....

I hope that everyone was able to get out and play during our snow day this past Tuesday! ❄ During our day off, I spent some time streamlining our Digital Resources page. I hope this will be more user friendly and accessible for our students. This was created using Google Slides. The second slide has the username/user ID information as well as the password for the databases McKelvie subscribes to. Click HERE to see this update.  Click HERE to see our evolving "Staff Loves" display! These are the books that are currently in our library that staff members at McKelvie have said they loved! All of these are available to be checked out, that is why the table is not full. Happy Super Bowl LV weekend! 🏈 Stay safe and well. ~ Mrs. Cote
