Next Friday, May 23, will be the last installment in the Google series of Library Lunch Bites. The session will cover both Google Reader and Google Calendar. I couldn’t resist hosting the encore performance of Lunch Buddy Blues on May 30th, so I’ll save coverage of Google Groups and PicasaWeb for next fall.
The last book order of the year has begun to arrive and you’ll find a selection of titles on display in the main area of the library. There are still a couple weeks left to borrow books from the library, so now that testing is behind you, spend a little time reading for fun!
Now that testing is almost in our rear view mirror and summer is on the horizon, reading for FUN may actually be possible again! Attached is a PDF that provides you with one-click access to a variety of magazines, journals, and one of the e-books included in our Gale databases.
Although I created this list with teachers in mind (as reflected in the professional publication section of the list), many titles appeal to a wide range of readers, including Discover, Essence, Guitar Player, Inc., Money, The New Yorker, MacWorld, National Geographic Adventure, Popular Science, Psychology Today, Smithsonian, Sports Illustrated, and Time.
You’ll need the school’s Gale user name/password to access these from home, so download the Portable reading shelf (PDF) to your home computer or a flash drive, keep the password nearby, and enjoy!
Do you have an overdue library book? I’ve designated this week as amnesty week, so if you return your book by this Friday, I’ll waive your overdue fines. See you soon!
