Resource Hour sponsored by Teen Court
From the Library's Circulation Desk.................................
From the Library: We love it when students check out our books and we love it when they return them. Reminder emails have been sent to students who have books to return to the library. Students can check their library accounts in Destiny, our library app in Clever, to see if they have anything out.
New Resource: SORA is a Clever app that gives our students even more access to eBooks, audio books, and magazines. It also connects them to the Charles County Public Library for even more reading choices!
Tech Notes: If your student logs on to their computer and gets a blue screen, have them plug it in and leave the screen open because the laptop is probably running updates.
