eBooks are here!!

The Woodland Middle School LRC is so excited to announce that eBooks are now available for student checkout!!  These eBooks "live" in our virtual library, the Follett Shelf, and can be read on most electronic devices.  Students check the books out to themselves at home on their own personal

device.  Directions are available on the LRC homepage.  Over 200 fiction and non-fiction titles are now available, with more to come in the near future!  If you have any questions about getting started, see Ms. Perrin in the LRC.

QR Codes:Your book has more to tell you!

QR Codes have arrived at the Woodland Middle School LRC! As you look around the LRC, you will notice that QR Codes have been added to the covers of many of the books.  Even thought they all look alike (just like the image at the left), they all have a unique code.  First, you must install a QR reader app on your devise.  They are free and easy to use.  Then you scan the code and see where it takes you!!

The LRC is open!!

The middle school LRC is open for business!  We are open from 7:30am - 3:30pm Monday through Friday when school is in session.  Tocome down during advisory advisory, students must get a pass from one of their teachers.  Students can use that time to return/check out books or use the computers.  Everyday after school, students can use the LRC for quiet study.  To attend, students must get a pass from one of their teachers and sign in at the desk.

Welcome Back!!
