| Dear Parents,
SCHOLASTIC BOOKS:
I’ve had students who have requested to extend the Scholastic Book Order Deadline. So, if you would like to order more books, the links are below. Please have your orders in by Tuesday, September 1st, so that we can receive them before we track off. 😉 You are actually available to order at any time; however, if the dollar amount is not large enough, we might be charged shipping.

PUBLIC LIBRARY BOOKS:
Mr. Hock forwarded the e-mail below regarding public library resources.
Hello educators,
My name is Marisa Spar, and I am one of the children’s librarians at the Rancho Cordova Library, part of the Sacramento Public Library system. I want to let you know that the Sacramento Public Library is here to support teachers, students, and families in this new school year of distance learning!
Although our buildings are closed to the public, we are offering curbside pickup of all our materials – books, DVDs, magazines, and more!
Here are some highlights of resources available on our website:
OverDrive Ebooks and Eaudiobooks for Kids
Browse by recommended books or grade level and take your books, audiobooks and comics on the go.
Hoopla
Check out the Hoopla Kids Mode to find video, music and books for younger audiences.
BookFlix
Strengthen early reading skills with animated, read-along ebooks. Recommended for children ages three to eight, you’ll find paired fiction and nonfiction books on topics for every interest.
TumbleBooks
Access hundreds of K-12 ebooks and audiobooks from your computer or tablet with any internet browser.
Library Cards
Any student (with parent’s permission) can sign up for a library card that can access all library digital resources and will not expire for 3 months. Educators and parents/caregivers can also apply for a card.
Homework Resources
Visit our homework help resources page and access tutoring, virtual reference books, test prep and more.
Research Tools
Find something specific with this comprehensive list of all online library resources and databases.
Email Reading Recommendations
Answer six simple questions about books (or audiobooks) and authors you enjoy and we’ll email you five recommendations selected just for you.
If you have a question, want more information on any of these services and resources, or if you would like to arrange a virtual class or meeting visit, please contact me. Also, please share this email with your fellow educators, teachers, and students’ families, as the library is hoping to get the word out about all of the free services we are offering this school year.
Thank you,
Marisa Spar (she/her/hers)
