Hey, I had the chance to visit the 7th & 8th grade classes of Mrs. Wildman at NSMS yesterday and as always had a great time. Hope to see all of you at the library and at some of the upcoming programs that we are having in February for teens.

Book talks with Mrs. Moulder's classes

Today, I was lucky enough to visit SSMS to give book talks to the 7th & 8th grade classes in Mrs. Moulder's classroom. Of course, I had fun (I love being able to visit the schools and meet some many of the teens that live in Anderson) booktalking and chatting with y'all!



Here are the titles I brought:

A visit to Highland High School

Thanks to Mrs. Garner and her sophmore English classes for having me visit yesterday! It was the first time I had the chance to visit Highland and I must say it is a beautiful school and I hope to visit there more often. We chatted about how to get a library card and the fact that any student that attends school in the Anderson Community Schools Corporation can get a library card, pretty cool right? Also we explored the APL website and took a look at some of the databases that we offer that you can use for free with your APL library card. Hopefully, the tips I gave for how to research the databases was helpful. Remember, stop by the Information Services desk anytime you have a question or send it via our live chat!
