The library has gone through a transformation.  And as there are quite a few new folx in the building, I wanted to give a little tour of the library and share what the library has to offer to support you in your work.  Space Catalog Use our library catalog to look for the books you need.  Check to see if the book is available and then use its call number to locate it in the library.  The first part of a call number tells you what section in the library to look.  The second part tells you what shelf.  The map can help with finding what section is which.  If you would like more guidance on how to use the catalog, please let me know and I will happily teach you.  You can also reserve library books from the catalog.  Watch this video to find out how.   Resources The library offers lots of resources beyond books.  From the library website, you can access a variety of digital research tools, eBooks, and audiobooks.  Look at the different colored tabs to find what you are looking for.  I wil

Second graders at RES are in the middle of a unit on picture books that have won the Caldecott medal for best illustration. One of the requirements for a Caldecott book is that the illustrations must add meaning to the text. The scholars have been sharing Caldecott books, first with the text alone and then with both the text and illustrations.They have been asking the question, "What do the illustrations add to the text?" and discussing their observations with partners. Sharing with partners about what the illustrations add to the text Here are some of the Caldecott medal-winning books they have shared. Ask yourself: What do the illustrations add to the text?
