Back-to-School Library Theme: Latine Heritage Month and National Coming Out Day!
In honor of Latine Heritage month and general updating of the collection, you will start to see more books in Spanish (and other languages) in the library this year. Stop by to request more, see what we have already, and share your interests!
See below for some new books in the collection this month.
New Resource for Faculty and Students: MyLibraryNYC
Springfield Gardens Campus schools is now participating in MyLibraryNYC thanks to support from Dr. Key from George Washington Carver HS!
This means...
As a teacher:
-> you can check out a class set of one title or a thematic set (different books on one topic) that will be shipped to the school (and shipped back free of charge when you're done). Use the link below to review the titles available.
-> you can sign up for an Educator card from Queens Public Library, which has slightly more privileges than a regular card.
As a student:
-> You can sign up for a Queens Public Library card right here on campus. I (librarian) will be reaching out to English departments in all schools about having your classes fill out the form, so I can collect them by class and deliver the cards back to you the same way.
Having trouble logging on? Come by the library to troubleshoot with me!
