Library News October 2018 – What’s New at Erie Islands Library?
School is back in session at Put-in-Bay and we welcome the return of weekly visits by preschoolers through grade 7. Each week the classes in younger grades are read to by a librarian and have the opportunity to pick out books to enjoy at home with their parents. Students in grades 5-7 are often given lessons on valuable online resources available through idarupp.org and are given time to choose books for pleasure or school assignments.
