Families of 6th graders,

The Karrer Library is partnering with the Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) to provide wider access to digital and physical reading materials and high quality research databases.

This fall, the Karrer library will set up each Karrer 6th grader with a CML Kids Card account, sharing the student’s first name, last name, date of birth, and school email address. Even if a student has a Full Access (standard) CML card, we encourage students to receive a Kids Card. Brendan Erb, Karrer’s library media specialist, will have a record of Karrer’s Kids Card account numbers and PINs so teachers and students can rely on regular access during instructional time.

A CML Kids Card provides the following benefits:

• Checkouts of up to five books at a time on the account

• Ebook and audiobook access through Libby, CML’s digital reading app

• Access to digital databases for research

Your child will automatically receive a physical CML Kids Card in November unless you fill out this form to opt out of this service. If you have further questions, please contact Brendan Erb at erb_brendan@dublinschools.net

Rising Pneumonia Cases: What Parents Need to Know

We’ve seen a rise in cases of pneumonia across Dublin City Schools, and we want to ensure parents stay informed. Pneumonia, an infection that inflames the lungs, can lead to a variety of symptoms, including cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. Early recognition is essential, especially as these symptoms overlap with other seasonal illnesses. For more information on pneumonia, please refer to What is Pneumonia from the NIH and our pneumonia fact sheet from the CDC, which provide insights into prevention, symptoms, and when to seek care.

Ski Club for MS & HS students
