The Catalog has two search modes – Basic, where you can search for a specific title, and Visual, where students can browse categories. The Summer Reading List, as well as lots of other fun categories to explore, can be found in the Visual search. Here you can see it circled in green. The tab for basic search is circled in red and the tab for visual is underlined in blue. The yellow arrow points to the Login button.
Students going into Second, Third and Fourth Grade can login using their usual computer user id and password. Email Ms. Sauro if you are not sure what this is.
When students login, they can explore the catalog and create lists that can then be printed and taken to bookstores or libraries. Click on “Keep” to begin creating a personal list (red arrow). The list they create can be found by clicking Resource Lists in the lefthand column (blue arrow).
Students can click on any book title to be taken to a screen with information about the book. From here, students can write a review of the book (yellow arrow) or recommend the book to a friend (purple arrow).
Finally, students can always see what books they have checked out and when they are due using the My Info tab (red arrow). Here they can also renew books (blue arrow) and see what books have been recommended by friends.
Reminder - Summer Reading Requirements
Third and Fourth Graders: Please arrive in September ready to share your favorite book that you read alone this summer as well as your favorite book that you read with someone else. There will be activities at the beginning of the year that will involve these books so be prepared!
Third and Fourth Graders are encouraged to use their library logins to post reviews and recommendations this summer.
All families should remember to take a photo of their child reading this summer, whether it's in Prospect Park or Paris! These photos are used in the Summer Reading Assembly in September.
