Leisure Reading Paperbacks for Staff and Google Books

1. The professional library has about 350+ donated paperback books for staff leisure reading. After all, you can’t read about pedagogy, best practice and research all the time! There’s no checkout—it works on the honor system. Stop in or call for more information. You can peruse the titles in the leisure library by going to http://tinyurl.com/25j9gwp.

2. We used Google Books to create the leisure library listing. You'll see the book cover, synopsis and reviews. We’ve even added a feature where you can add your own reviews. You can create an account and use Google Books to create public or private libraries. Organize your personal book collection. Or, a teacher could have students create their own virtual library of books they have read (or want to read) and then add reviews. Or, what if you had a recommended reading list for students (or parents)?
