Updates @your Library

Free Wall Street Journal Yep, that’s right the paper is being delivered to Fern Ridge for free. If you would like to have it for your class, please feel free to take and use them as needed.

Free Books I have three books that are so new that they are uncorrected publisher proofs. I have not put them in the catalog, so they are free for the taking and can be found on the rolling cart next to the SMARTBoard.

Self Checkout Available On the computer by the door students are able to do self checkout through Destiny. They must know their students number for access. See directions on the next page.
