Students get cyberlibrary

Cyber Students Get Cyber Library

From

Teacher with studentsPennsylvania's cyber students now have a school library to call their own.

Opening its virtual doors on September 4, the library serves the 10,500 K-12 children who attend the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School (PA Cyber). Students can check out ebooks, conduct research through free databases for school assignments, and get print materials snail-mailed to their home with a click of the button.

Several years in the making, the cyber library has already counted 50,000 page views and mailed out 200 books. The 5,000 individuals logging in have searched for titles from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to The Iliad, and current titles including "Harry Potter" (Scholastic) and the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" (Abrams) series are on order, says Sandra Fouch, PA Cyber's director of federal programs, assessment and research, who oversees the library from her base in Midland, Pa.

Classroom Library Grand Opening Sparks Excitement Amongst Students

On Wednesday, September 12th Mrs. Rowe's third grade class at Midland Elementary School in Rye, celebrated their class library with a grand opening. For the first weeks of school, the students studied the library. They learned how the books are categorized, leveled and how to choose books that are just right for them. On the big day Mrs. Rowe set up a red crepe ribbon and the class gathered for the big event. The class invited the principal Dr. Grille and the school librarian Mrs. Andrews as well as other school personnel: Mimi Dreckermann, Mrs. Yusi and Mrs. Manfredi to the ceremony.
 
The ceremony began with a speech about the work the class had done with the library followed by a poetry reading led by student Tim Desmond entitled "The Library Cheer" by Brod Bagert. Next, the class librarian of the week Daniel Roberts cut the red ribbon symbolizing the beginning of something very special. Each student, new book bin in hand, toured the library selecting books. The classroom was buzzing with book recommendations, smiles and excitement about reading.
