TECH TIP:  Smore Online Newsletter Creator


Looking for creative ways to keep in touch with students and parents?  Smoreis a free, online newsletter creator.  With the free account, you get 200 emails a month.  It also keeps track of statistics so you can see how many viewed your newsletter.  

I used this program to create my 2nd Quarter Report for the library and emailed it to all of you so can see what it looks like "in action".  

BOOK TIP:  Superhero Books

In honor of Birdman, the story of an actor who played an iconic superhero, winning the Oscar for Best Film, a few books about superheroes.  Both of which are available at the library.

 Superman Versus the Ku Klux Klan  by Rick Bowers.  This is an informative and intriguing look at the 1947 Superman radio show when the producers decided that the Man of Steel should take on racism by defeating the Ku Klux Klan.  

The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore.  William Marston was the creator of Wonder Woman, and he was inspired by the early feminists and suffragists.  These women are intrinsically tied into the character Wonder Woman.
