Welcome to the 2014-2015 NPES Library
First things first! We have a new web based library catalog that NPES students and families can access from home. The link is found here:
www.npeslibrary.goalexandria.com
and I am showing the kids how to search and use the advanced search tool in the Researcher section.
This year in library we will continue to encourage the joy of reading through various book programs including the Battle of the Books, independent book projects, Oral Interpretation, guest authors and more. We will also go more in depth on searching on line and how to use technology to find the information you need. This will include: how to tell if a site is credible, how to site electronic sources in a bibliography and much more.
To kick off the year, we will celebrate our freedom to read as we celebrate Banned Books Week. 8th graders are answering some very important questions: What is Banned Books Week? What is the difference between a challenge and a ban? What are some of the top most challenged books and authors. Why is the first amendment important in a democracy and what does it have to do with Banned Books Week? Stay tuned to see their posters and presentations.
