Welcome back!


If you've been in the high school or Meadows libraries, you might have noticed some empty boxes. The start of the new year means new books!

In addition to the Iowa Teen Award and Iowa High School Award nominees, students can also find over 500 new books between the two libraries. Titles in popular series were added, and brand new stand-alone titles were purchased. Also, damaged and "well-loved" books were replaced with new copies.

Along with brand new books, STEM-related titles and STEM equipment were purchased to support the makerspace approach in the library and the curriculum in a variety of classrooms. Soon, students will have access to Animation Studio, Ozobot, Cubelets, and Mindstorm, plus additional technology-driven activities.

Be sure to stop by the libraries to check out any of our new titles--or even check out an old favorite. While you're there, maybe you'll have the opportunity to try out some new tech gadgets. See you soon!
