• New Library Page Setup

    I can't believe we're facing this situation. I'm glad we're taking these precautions, but I do miss the library and your energy. In order to support all learning and creative pursuits but not overwhelm with all the resources out there, I've decided to quickly reset the library page. 

    Navigation

    Along the side, you'll see 5 options with 5-6 curated links and a living Deep Dive document with additional resources: 

    • Read - eBooks, audiobooks, webcomics, resources to find good books
    • Research - all of your informational needs
    • Write - tools to help you write
    • Create - Code, tinker, design, draw!
    • Share - ways for you to share your creative pursuits, book talks, book recommendations, etc. 

  • Library Live Online

    Office Hours: 8:00 - 4:00 

    During the week of extended learning, I'll be available to help find resources, recommend books, chat about books, and offer any kind of support needed. Email me at ggrana@chccs.k12.nc.us 

    Library Live Stream

    Daily read-alouds starting at around 12:30 via Google Meet. I'll start with a Live Stream and then switch to a participatory Google Meet, where students can interact with me. The main point of this room will be to discuss the books everyone is reading and to share creative projects.

    Library Prompts

    I created a list of prompts that support independent reading and thinking creatively about the books you're reading. There will be no grade attached, but completed projects can be emailed to me to be posted on the library website. Email me using ggrana@chccs.k12.nc.us

  • Student Club form

    The student club form will be open again for a limited time, due to some renewed interest. 

    Click here to access the club form. 

    Please remember that any club you apply for should "fit" in the library. For instance, you can't form a social club, or a club that plays computer games.

  • The school year hasn't even started yet but we've already got an author visit planned! Huge shout out to Flyleaf Books for sharing the opportunity. 

    Victoria Schwab will be here on September 5th at 9:30 am to promote her new book, Tunnel of Bones, the sequel to the stellar, spooktacular, New Yor Times Bestseller City of Ghosts. (It was also one of Mr. Graña's favorite summer reads).

    If you want to seize this opportunity to hear from and meet a major author, make sure you ask your Language Arts teacher how you can participate. The link below is the flyer for the event, which doubles as the order form for the books (available at a discount). 

    Flyer for the Victoria Schwab event at Smith, including an order form for her books and images of the author & book cover.
