Welcome Back SAS – 2013-14 School Year

Welcome Back SAS

  • Welcome Back to School for the 2013-14 School Year.  The Secondary library has been hard at work over the last week preparing for teachers and students.  The new books ( 2000+) are in.  We have been checking out materials already.  Drop by to check out the new materials and get that first look at the new arrivals.
  • New this year.

    • We have Merged the MS and HS Fiction sections into 1 large fiction collection.  The HS books are still labeled HS but the 2 collections are now 1.  See library staff if you need assistance
    • We have increased our FollettShelf collection.  Information about how to access this will be develop shortly, but for now, you can access our FollettShelf Ebook collection by logging in to Destiny (use your SAS ID), changing the catalog search criteria to ebooks.  Once you have found a book to your liking, you can select it and either read it online (all) or download it to your computer (some).  You can also add FollettShelf to your iPad.  For more information, drop by the library and we will help.
    • We have greatly increased our Kindle collection.  Once all the kindles have been processed, we will start loading content.  If you have a book that you need to read check with the library staff, we will see if we can load it on to a school kindle for you to check out.  For more information see a librarian.
    • We have maintained the SAS Database collection.  We saw increased use of JStor as well at the Literary Databases.  If you have database needs please drop by the library to see a librarian.  We are more than glad to help.
    • Finally,  we had a banner year last year with our library use and circulation.  We had over 110,000 entrances to the library with over 41,000 resource circulations.  This was a big jump over previous years and due in great part to MS reading giants and the 9th and 10th grade independent reading programs.  Keep up the great work.
