Book Bundles are back!

Even though the library doors are open again this year, the Book Bundle remains!

Don’t know what to read, or what to even begin searching for in the library catalog?

Do you like surprises or trying new things?

TRY A BOOK BUNDLE!

Simply answer a couple of questions HERE and let the Librarian surprise you with a stack of stories! You will be sent a Schoology message when your Book Bundle is ready to pick-up at the Library.

And if you’ve requested a Book Bundle before, you can again! There’s no limit.

RETURN summer reading

As you’re figuring out what to wear for the first day of school tomorrow, and getting everything organized for heading back to school, make sure you track down your library books you checked out for summer reading — they’re due back at the library this week!

Under construction …

The library catalog is switching to a new & improved website for next year — the current catalog will not be available after June 25.

Info on how to find and login to the new library catalog will be included in the back-to-school newsletter sent from MEI Secondary Library. Keep an eye on @meilibrary on social media this summer!

Return Day

Tomorrow, June 15 is RETURN DAY!

If you need a reminder of what TEXTBOOKS or LIBRARY BOOKS you currently have checked out, login to your library account at bit.ly/meilibrary.

You will be called to the library with your last class of the day tomorrow, to return everything all at once. 

Want your yearbook?

Avoid stress and guarantee you’ll receive your YEARBOOK on the last day of classes. BY JUNE 9 make sure you take care of any outstanding issues — pay all School Cash Online fees, return all 1-3 quarter textbooks, pay library fines, etc. Ms. Penner has waived all late fines, extending a little kindness in these unusual COVID days. Only replacement or damage fees remain, and need to be paid for by June 9.

JUST A WORD OF CAUTION: If there are still outstanding issues on your account, you will not receive your yearbook when everyone else does.

**Double check that your library account is all clear here (how-to) >> http://bit.ly/meilibrary

**A quick how-to for paying library fines, including a reminder to email Ms.Penner the School Cash Online receipt so she can update your library account >> https://thebeak.edublogs.org/about/pay-library-fines-online/

Note: if you returned your Q1-3 textbooks last week, don’t worry if they still show on your library account as they may not have been checked in yet

say YES to summer reading

Want to borrow an unlimited number of MEI Secondary Library books over the summer break?

Add your name to the SUMMER READING list!

It’s easy! If you are currently in grade 8-11 or MEI Staff, simply add your name to the Summer Reading list HERE.

You will also have the choice to keep the library books you currently have checked out, over the Summer Holiday. Ms. Penner will extend their due date so they are due the first week of school like the Summer Reading books.

Once you have added your name to the Summer Reading list, any library books you borrow in the month of June will be all yours over the Summer Holiday, and there is no limit on what you can check out!

 

a stack of stories

Don’t know what to read, or what to even begin searching for in the library catalog?

Do you like surprises or trying new things?

TRY A BOOK BUNDLE!

Simply answer a couple of questions HERE and let Ms. Penner surprise you with a stack of stories! You will be sent a Schoology message when your Book Bundle is ready to pick-up at the Grab + Go library table in the front entrance of the school.

And if you’ve requested a Book Bundle before, you can again! There’s no limit.

Textbook Day

Remember how you returned your textbooks at the library when you picked up your textbook bags for this quarter? We’re going to do the same thing again!

Please hold onto your current textbooks and bring them with you for your first day of Quarter 4 classes on APRIL 19. All classes will be called to the library in a COVID-friendly way for the textbook swap — to return your old textbooks and pick up your new ones.

Please DO NOT return your textbooks to the return cart by the library Grab + Go table — this week, that is only a spot to return library books.

Got a question? Let me know!

YES you can still borrow books!

Anything you could borrow from the library last year, you can still borrow this year! Biographies, novels, books for research, non-fiction, graphic novels, and much more.

LOGIN to your library account, and LOOK for library books that you want to borrow.

Found one that looks good? Put a HOLD on it, and Ms. Penner will check it out to you when it is available.

GRAB your bag of book(s) from the Library table in the front entry of the school and GO!

Ms. Penner will send a Schoology message when you have something to Grab + Go!
