School is Just Around the Corner

Hi Parents,

School starts soon, and I know you are all getting ready for it. Don't forget that the library has the school summer reading lists still out. If your child needed to get some reading in before school, there is still time. The lists can also be found here: http://www.monroeps.org/summerreading.aspx

Just wanted to remind you all, that the library is a great place to do homework! Especially, from home. That's right, we have online databases that your kids can use to do research/homework. What makes these sites better than just "googling" your information? They are guaranteed authoritative sources, and they are invisible on the "regular web". That means that not just anyone can get to these resources. You have to go through your library's website.

Check out our research page for kids: http://www.ewml.org/jdatabases.htm

We also have more databases here: http://www.ewml.org/databases.htm , but they are geared more for adults.

Hope this helps!

Best,
AW
Children's Librarian.

Changing our Format

Well, since we weren't getting too many kids saying they were reading our blog, we thought we would change the premise. Welcome to the new parents blog! We (I) hope to post as much new information as I can about the latest and the greatest as it is know to us. We hope to also post the newest acquistions that we've read and loved. We'll see how this goes! Stay tuned.
