Stick Together is BACK!


Stick Together – mosaic puzzle posters are created with 1/2" square stickers – are back!! They're a great activity for our MakerSpace. Each kit includes 3,996 colored 1/2" square stickers. Do you have any guesses as to what we are going to create if we "stick together"?

Over 50,000 Minutes

Our databases get a lot of use. In fact, one database alone logged a total of over 50,000 minutes from Mepham High School users last year. Our databases can be accessed here at school and at home 24/7. To get to our databases, you go to the Mepham High School Library website and click on the database tab. Our databases are password-protected. Come to the library and see Mrs. Stack or Mrs. Gellerman for our database handout, which has our usernames and passwords on it. We subscribe to many different types of databases across the curriculum to provide our students and faculty with the most up-to-date reliable information. There are unique resources, such as a music and sound effect copyright-free library, which you can download and add to presentations. There are also animated videos with activities from BrainPOP, covering topics in Arts, English Language Arts, Health, Social Studies and STEM.

Whales for a Cause 2021

Our School and Community Leadership students in Mrs. Geller's class colored Vineyard Vines Whales from the Mepham High School Library MakerSpace. Vineyard Vines partnered with Simon & Schuster and First Book for Fall 2021. It was easy to get involved. We just downloaded a whale from their website, printed it out, colored it in, and then posted it on social media with #WhalesForACause2021 to our school's Instagram account. Vineyard Vines will donate one book to First Book for every whale in our post. First Book to provide brand new books to kids in need. You can get in on the action too! Just stop by our library all month long and grab a whale handout and color it in. 





Whales for a Cause 2021 is on display throughout the library for the month of September.

MHS Library Orientation 2021

Hey Mepham Pirates! Welcome to the Mepham High School Library. I'm your librarian, Mrs. Stack and I have been teaching here since 2006. I'm glad to be here and I hope you are too! Last year's orientation was virtual, but we are happy to report that we are back in person this year. 

 

 For those of you that missed our orientation, this video is designed to acquaint newcomers to our space and to reacquaint those of you who haven't visited our space in a while. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
