The SCS Library's Latest

School started, and the construction/renovations continued. Here are some of the latest newsy items...

...The bookshelves in our office space are in use

...the HS Room has been set up and decorated with our Picturing America exhibit showing the "B" side of the images. We received 40 images with Picturing America, but because they came as 20 double-sided posters we can only display 20 at a time. The "A" side images were previously on display, and now the "B" side are showing. We will switch them back around sometime in December.

...The new room has been set up as our HS Biography Room.

...We now have a PA system speaker in the Elementary Room which allows us to hear announcements and bells.

...We were privileged to host the last Faculty Fellowship meeting on October 1st in the HS Room. It was our gallery opening, an opportunity for faculty to get a close look at the Picturing America exhibit and teachers resources. Refreshments were served so teachers were able to peruse the gallery while sipping sparkling cider, and nibbling on grapes, cheese and crackers, and Milano cookies. It was a squeeze to get so many in such a small space, but an enjoyable time anyway.

...there is a new folder accessible to students and faculty when they access their SCS accounts. When they log in and get to their desktops, they can find a folder for SCS Library Shortcuts. The folder provides icons to get to the newschoolnotes page, the SCS website, the Picturing America resources, and this blog. Soon, we will be adding a link to the Alexandria Researcher, so that faculty and students will be able to access our database and search for materials in our collection even from outside of school.
