Library/Media Center Procedures
If your Chromebook is damaged or not working properly, bring it to the Library Media Center (LMC) after filling out the help form--see the link above. Someone from the Library/Media Center will call your classroom. If the Chromebook is damaged and you have insurance, you will need to file a claim. You will be given a Chromebook to borrow for the long term if you need one. The Chromebook will be compatible with the charger you received at the beginning of the school year. If you do not have insurance, you will have to complete a fine report sheet. You will be given a copy of the report to bring home. All "loss" or "theft" issues involving Chromebooks will be referred to the main office where you will be asked to complete the BLUE Theft/Loss sheet. All students who report a damaged Chromebook will receive a Chromebook to borrow while in school for the entire school day. Daily Loaner Chromebooks are to be returned to the LMC before the end of the last period of the day.Need to print something?
Students do not have the ability to print documents from their Chromebooks. Stop by the Library/Media Center, sign in, go to a computer in the lab, log in with your Windows account, and print the documents you need in color or black and white.Borrow and read an eBook anytime.

Students can check the status of their borrowed materials by logging in to the online catalog and then choosing the "My Info" tab at the top left; use the same credentials you use for logging into your Chromebook.Interlibrary Loan Request

Books In the Spotlight...
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys is a historical fiction novel set in eastern Europe at the very end of World War II.
It is a story about a friendship that is formed between Florian, a cunning German soldier who no longer wants to fight for Hitler, Joana, a kind nurse who may have murdered someone back in her home country of Latvia, and Emilia, a 15-year-old girl who is hiding something from the others.
The group of friends travels west so they can board the infamous Wilhelm Gustloff and escape Stalin's invading army. Along the way they encounter hardships that will test their sanity and humanity.
The story is told from multiple points of view. Each chapter is about a page or two and the vocabulary is easy.
You will leave this book understanding the trials and tribulations that refugees from around the world today are suffering and realize that war is a horrible thing to experience and hopefully have some sympathy for their plights. Please note there are a lot of disturbing scenes in this book as the book depicts civilians caught in war.
