Good morning!

Does anyone have a particularly good instructional presentation about Google NotebookLM for their staff (or for students)? Or a good training that you recommend?
I'm so excited by the prospects of this tool--our Social Studies Department is already using it!

Thanks!
Casey

We did a PD presentation recently and used some of the content.


Matt Mervis was at our PD, and he was awesome and had great resources.

Winter and Holiday Picture Book Bundles from MLSC!

As the weather gets colder and the nights get longer, we wanted to send a reminder of all the wonderful winter and holiday themed books available for your seasonal displays and storytimes! We can send up to 30 seasonal large print books through deliverIT that will be yours to circulate for 90 days. If you are interested, reserve a book bundle in our Equipment catalog or email abbey.e.lynch@ct.gov. Let us know if there are specific topics/holidays you would like included.

                                 

Middletown Library Service Center Collections

The Middletown Library Service Center (MLSC) has many, many collection items worth knowing about, exploring, and of course, borrowing! We lend resources to public, school, and academic libraries throughout the state of Connecticut to help supplement collections or provide access to resources that otherwise might be out of reach. We lend Picture Books, Non-fiction, Book Discussion Sets, and more! Please note that we’ve recently begun to share MLSC resources with homeschooling families!

Not sure how to request items? Don’t worry, we made a video!

Do you work in a school? Have your MLSC items sent to the public library of your choice. That can be the town your school is in or the town you live in - your choice!

And remember you can book items up to 365 days in advance and there are NO LATE FEES!

Happy Browsing!
