New Materials

Books, books, everywhere, books! It is a good thing to have plenty to read when you visit a library. One very nice thing about SCS is the generosity of our patrons and their parents. We have received donations of books over recent months and are doing our best to keep up with the processing of those and our new books. In fact, in the past few months we have added in excess of 800 new titles to our library. Part of that came through the purchase of materials with funds from our NYS library allocation (we receive a certain amount per child from the state for materials for the library), some through the recent Scholastic Book Fair, some with money from our library budget, as well as those previously mentioned donations from teachers, parents, and students. It is one of our goals to expand and update our offerings, and we have been weeding out items that are well-worn while we add new things that will be of benefit to the SCS community.

Did you know that in a addition to the HS and Elementary Rooms we have a Parent Collection for parents to check out as well as Professional Resources for teachers? We are working on adding to our foreign language materials. In a previous post we mentioned the addition of a set of Christian biographies in Spanish, and will soon add some resources in Korean. Keep checking in with us as new things are being added to the shelves daily.
