Did you miss the orientations to the library for teachers, staff and administrators?
Register for our last make-up session on Wednesday, August 21, 3:30-4:00 pm.

Please attend if you use the library, if you book the library for any event, or if you need access to any published content in your (Google) classes, including resources with accessibility features.
An important goal this year is to get all teachers and first year students signed up for an Alameda County Library eCard and to test access to the databases. You will learn how to do this in the orientation. The eCard will provide access to additional content for you and your students, save instructional minutes, and save our school significant subscription dollars.
