| During the dynamic and rapidly changing situation with COVID-19, providing library services and materials to students and staff in the safest manner possible is a top priority of Mrs. Daniels and Mrs. Stone, our district librarians. Our school libraries are open and following the guidelines outlined in the Valley Local School District Operating Plan. Library procedures have been implemented to ensure social distancing and to minimize contact of shared items. Instructions for students have been placed on the library webpages for using the following: online catalog, “Sign-In Sheet,” “Request A Book,” and “Placing Holds.” The high school and middle school libraries are also offering “Curbside” book pickup for our online learners. We are confident during these uncharted times that we can continue to meet the information needs of our students and nurture the lifelong love of reading. |
