NEW Books & Teacher Projects

Teacher projects will vary, but we will attempt to let you know of any upcoming.

This is also our showcase for the new books we have added to the collection. So far for September, October, November, and December we have added 575 books to the collection, up from the previous 485 through November. We are finished with all the new books ordered over the summer ‘04, and are now entering some books that were never put into Athena (our Computer Catalog). We find a few here and there that were not completely processed, and some that need re-cataloged, but all of these things are currently in the works.

Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Nelson have been working very hard to get all the new books into the system and ready to circulate. Here is a sampling of the sets added just in the past months.
