Thank you Mrs. Zoutis for teaching me about Sreencastify and making the “how to” videos to share with our Scholars. Looking forward to collaborating with you next week as we prepare our students to use this wonderful tool! @ITFZoutis #bookcreator #shoulderup #librarycard

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. If you don’t have a library card yet, visit newburghlibrary.org or ask your school librarian for help. It is easy and free and opens up a world of books! Happy reading 📚

Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15-October 15... What a great time to read and learn about the contributions Hispanic Americans have made to our country. Visit newburghlibrary.org or ask your school librarian for book suggestions.
