From the Hour of Code website: The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.

We have information about this on our library website as well as links to games and activities that can help you learn how to code. You can also check out the website link below. Some of the most popular activities are the Minecraft Coding and The Exciting World of Gumball Coding.

Book club typically meets every other Thursday in the library. We will be finishing our fall book The Handmaid's Tale by holiday break and starting a new book in January. If you're interested in joining see Mrs. Schauf in the library.

Anime club is this Friday, December 7th - 10th period in the library classroom.

In anime club, we watch anime, discuss anime, learn about Japan and Japanese culture, and draw manga. See Mrs. Schauf with any questions.
