JUNE'S WEBSITE

Clarkstown Central School District

As the school year comes to end, families are excited about relaxing, sleeping in, camp, and vacations away from home. But before you get too caught up in those lazy days, you should think about summer reading. Research has shown that

“… the best predictor of summer loss or summer gain is whether or not a child reads during the summer."

Better Than Google

You may have noticed that our magazine and database listing looks quite different. It has now been put on a libguide (a customized guide created with specialized software) featuring our magazines, databases, and web sites that wll enhance your research experience. It was created by the Ramapo Catskill Library System and handed off to each library to maintain. What does this mean for you? Since we no longer have to go through a third party (over-worked Jerry at RCLS), changes can be implemented, and problems can be solved much more quickly.

In addition, not only are our subscriptions listed, but Jerry had added some great websites as well, such as Census 2010 Local Data, NADA and Kelley Blue Book car price guides and other helpful aids. An added bonus is that our databases are getting used more often! It is convenient to have all our offerings on one page, and the subject headings will take you right to your area of interest. It really is better (and more reliable) than Google.

What's Cooking?: A Cup of Tea

Dorothy Ng — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:57:51 +0000

We’ve all had those hectic days that never seem to end. Sometimes you just need to get off that carousel of life for a breather and get back on again. Whenever I feel this way, I reach out for a soothing cup of tea to calm me, creating a temporary oasis. There is something about slowly sipping that hot cup of tea that seems to unwind the tensions. Besides its relaxing effect, taking the time to drink it provides a needed moment to be quiet, be centered, and clear your head so you can regroup to face the obstacles before you.
