Find some great new resources in the library this month, including free access to The New York Times "The Athletic", New York Times Games, lots of new books to read over April break and an African bead bracelet craft. 

 

The Athletic and Games from The New York Times

Last year, students requested that the library provide online games. We are happy to announce that you now have free access to New York Times Games as well as The Athletic. The Athletic is a sports publication with the highest quality writing on a wide variety of sports. Games offers you Wordle, the crossword puzzle, Tiles, Spelling Bee, Letterboxed, and more. We have emailed you the sign-up links. If you can't find it, please see or email Mrs. Hanson and/or Ms. Azez and we will give it to you. 

 

New Books

We have tons of new books and collections that we have selected for you. Please browse online or in the library and read something great over April break! Please note we introduced our new French language collection this month. 

 

New craft: African bead bracelet

We know you love the fuse beads but we think it's time to offer you something new for spring. You're invited to come to the library and make a simple knotted bracelet with African beads. Here is a picture of our beads and a sample bracelet.
