CVHS Library wishes all students, teachers, staff, volunteers and families a peaceful winter break!
As we look forward to the new year, please join us for renewed fun in the library with:
- Volunteer and Donation opportunities for parents and families. Help us build our collections and services for our students!
- Help us support your child's academic skills by having them register for an Alameda County Public Library eCard. We will teach them in classes how to use the electronic resources (databases) to do research.
- Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Lunar New Year, Black History Month, Blind Date with a Book and more.
- Teacher lunches hosted by the Wellness Center
- Athena's Cooperative Cafe. Hot tea, coffee and chocolate with contributions from our community. Bring a reusable mug with lid.
- Word Wise Vocabulary builder. Students can build their academic vocabulary with short practice exercises and then self-test their knowledge. No grades. No stress. Just words.
- Research and writing support as students write research papers in the next semester.
- New policies: a districtwide task force is preparing a Collection Development Policy for our school libraries in compliance with the California Freedom to Read Act which becomes law in January 2025. Read more in our previous announcement.
- New books. Book purchasing for the library (also known as Collection Development) happens over the winter and new books arrive in February/March.
