Welcome Back to School SAS
August 6th- Welcome back to School!. Monday new and returning teachers will pour into to SAS Pudong Campus to get the school year started. While new teachers and admin have been on campus for the last week, tomorrow everyone will be together for reunions and new beginnings as we get ready for students.

OverDrive Links Added
May 31st- A lot of work today in the SAS PD Sec Library. Today was the first day of high school exams and we had lots of students in and out of the library. A large part of the day besides working with retrieving resources and working to set the library up for summer break was the retooling of our SAS OverDrive Links (http://saschina.lib.overdrive.com/). The Destiny Home page was edited to update the OverDrive Catalog, Online Help, and Quick Start-Up Links (http://destiny.saschina.org/common/servlet/presenthomeform.do?l2m=Home&tm=Home). In that our school blogs are being discontinued, the Quick Start-Up Link Help were moved to this blog with cross links to Destiny. Note: the image is from OverDrive Help Files
16-17 School Year Nearing End – Lots to Do
The 2016-17 school year is nearing its end. As we near the close of school this year there are “millions” of things to do in the Library. For the last month we have been shifting shelves and re-arranging book genres. New shelves have been added. Summer Reading Lists have been placed out for middle school students and we are closing out and transferring material from school blogs and wikis to other storage areas sites.
The next two weeks until school closes are full. This weekend is SAS Graduation. Next weekend is China National Robotics Tourney. Barbara and I are taking our SAS PD Middle School FLL team and I am supporting the SAS PD FTC Team on Jun 2-4 in Shanghai. I will upload pictures as they come available
The library is on full court press to get all the books and materials back in before closing day on June 9th. We will be turning on daily overdue notices beginning Monday through the end of school. We have removed all the old magazines from the displays and catalog. We are still working to weed the collection which is always a difficult task in preparation for getting new books in August.
In terms of news feeds from the SAS PD Secondary Library–I have moved more to using Twitter as a “Shout-Out” about what is happening in our library (SAS Pudong Secondary Library). You can follow the Library Twitter Feed @SASPDLib or you can follow my personal Twitter Feed @tsboyer. You can follow Barbara Boyer for Middle School Library News @barbaraboyersas. (tsb 5/27/17)
100+ Books for Middle Schoolers to Read
BBoyer- 100+ Books that all middle school students should have read before they get to high school…according to Mrs. Boyer and a few others. These books are in no particular order at this time. (LINK)
I COULDN’T JUST STOP AT 100!
I have decided to put a genre tag to them as well, so that you have an idea of what the book is about. Also, all of these books can be found in the SAS libraries.
