My name is Mrs. Hahn and I am the librarian at East Hills Middle School. The East Hills library services over 1,000 students and has over 13,000 volumes. The library provides opportunities for curricular support and opportunities for checking out books for pleasure reading. Students are able to use both Mac desktops as well as Google Chrome books to look for books or do research. Additionally, students have access to online databases through Gale Cengage and e-books through Overdrive. Sixth grade students have scheduled visits with their Literacy classes and all students are encouraged to come to the library at any point throughout the day on a pass. I have collaborated with many teachers on projects and topics such as National History Day, how to research, online databases, book talks, research specific to a topic, and the community project which resulted in the beautiful panels that now hang in the library.
Please visit East Hills' LibGuide page to see more evidence of teacher/library collaboration. The library also supports the East Hills Reading Olympics team!
