Non-fiction eBooks Have Virtually Arrived!
Thanks to two grants, one from the Long Island School Media Association (LISMA) and one from the Bellmore-Merrick CHSD, we were able to purchase the following Gale non-fiction eBooks to support the Common Core. These eBooks can be accessed here: http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/bell89784?db=GVRL. See Ms. Stack in the library for the password. You can also access them by going to the Mepham High School Website, clicking Library and then e-Books (non-fiction). Faculty and students have unlimited, simultaneous, no-checkout use of these eReference materials here at school and at home.

We Met Our Goal!
The Scholastic Book Fair was a success! Thanks to your generosity, the "All for Books" fundraiser will be able to provide the funds needed to supply two Long Island school libraries effected by Hurricane Sandy with a shelf of brand new picture books. Didn't make it to the fair? You can still purchase books by shopping online and help to support our cause. You can browse an expanded book selection and the best part is that all orders ship FREE to the school. You can check out our Book Fair Website here.
