September at SPCL!

We are excited to welcome you (back) to our library! You don't need a library card to check out books in our library; you just need to be a student or staff member at Seward Park Campus! Please read below to see ALLLLLLL that we offer. It's a lot.

Welcome to the library! You are welcome to join us before school, during lunch (please eat your lunch upstairs, though), and afterschool. During class hours, be sure to have a pass and sign in at the front desk laptop. If you need more time afterschool, you can head right over to the Seward Park Library which has a special teen section and later hours. It's right across Seward Park at 192 East Broadway.

HOURS:

Mon - Fri - 8:45am - 3:30pm

Now that we don't have phones to access our catalog, make sure you visit our website: www.sewardparkcampuslibrary.org to find the book you're looking for or to browse our collection. Watch the how-to video below!

We have a music and podcast recording studio! Our music recording studio schedule is still being worked out, but our podcast studio is ready to record.

Do you have a show you'd like to record? A conversation with friends that has the potential to go viral? Do you want to interview someone? Spark Studios is waiting for you!

We now have a new Makerspace complete with 3D printers, laser cutter, embroidery machine, decal cutter and more! Please visit Spark Space for more information or use the form below to contact us!

In an effort to set a good example for our students AND for lots of fun, we have started a Seward Park Campus Staff Book Club. We meet once a month or so. Please email mleazer@schools.nyc.gov if you'd like to join our next round! We will be meeting shortly for our summer reading, so join us if you'd like!

This year, we will be partnering with Design Your Future, a nonprofit company which will help us to raise funds for Spark Studio and Spark Space. Look for special DYF events throughout the year to invite friends and family members to help support our library!

Seward Park Campus Library will be entering its 4th year in partnership with local bookstore, Yu&Me Books! This collaboration allows us to bring amazing authors into our building and build community partnerships and relationships. All events are open to members of Seward Park Campus. Click on the flyers before for more information, including how to purchase the books!

That's it for now! But I hope to see you very soon in our library! Meanwhile, give us a follow here for the most recent news! https://www.instagram.com/sparkcampuslibrary/
