News from the library--December 1, 2008

Intermediate classes worked with a partner this week to complete a TREASURE HUNT map. This was a run-around activity that took students on a hunt for library locations of fiction and nonfiction books, reference materials, and computer questions. To culminate the activity, we watched the E-BOOK of Pirates Don't Change Diapers by: Melinda Long.

E-BOOKS can be accessed by going to the Iowa City Public Library website http://www.icpl.org/. Students practiced doing this, so please ask them how to get on to Tumblebooks. Just follow the directions below:
