The SAS Sec Library has become Science Central for 8th Grade Classes. Biome Projects labeled with QR codes have been placed on many of our shelves. Students will bring the Library or personal iPads to read the QR codes and then investigate the projects. The students are still in the set up process right now, but come Thursday various classes of students will investigate the projects making the science come alive. Way to go 8th Grade. Thanks for connecting real life science with technology and the library.

The library was missing a chess piece for one of the library’s sets and Simon Power came to the rescue. Pulling out new 3-D printer and within minutes, a new pawn. The chess set is “saved” and life in the library can return to its frantic normal. Thanks Simon!!!
