New and Improved

New Books lined up on top of a book shelf

We have several new things happening in the new year at Salina Intermediate media center. First of all, many of the books students have requested have come in. Unfortunately, it is not possible to buy every book students ask for, either because of inappropriate content or, just lack of money. I was able to get many of the items and series that were requested. We have the Maximum Ride graphic novel series, several new Naruto and Baruto graphic novels, as well as many of the recent Newbury award winners.

Students and parents alike will be able to borrow books from the Dearborn Public Library system and get them delivered to this book locker. The locker will only open with the barcode of the library card of the person who requested the book. there is also a book return bin so that books can be returned at the community center as well. I have waited many years to see this collaboration between the school system and the public library system. This will give Salina students and their parents access to many materials that I could not begin to afford for the school library.
