Final Round for Battle of the Books

We are down to our final round of Battle of the Books. (Insert Jaws music.) Mrs. Lassley will be the final judge. She has already read 4 out of the 5 books, but she want to try and reread the ones it has been awhile for. It will be announced right after the Winter Break!

Overdrive and the Holidays

Welcome back! As the days are shorter and the weather is colder, many of us are taking to hanging out indoors a lot more. And with the holidays coming up, I wanted to remind you about Overdrive. Overdrive is our online library system where you can check out ebooks and audio books for two weeks at time on your device. This is very helpful during the holidays because it is open 24/7. This way you can check out 3 books from the library right before the break and when you finish them, you can get books from Overdrive.

The wonderful librarian at Maus Middle School, Mrs. Fair, made a how-to video for installing and working with Overdrive! Happy Reading
