Serving the Newport, RI Community
What do you consider a turning point in history? Our local juniors from Roger’s High School had to pick a topic they thought was a major turning point in history and build a display about it … and they are AMAZING!! We put some up in the hallway connecting the two main parts of the library, and people have been commenting on them all night!
Displays will be swapped out every couple of weeks, so be sure to stop by the library and see them for yourself!
Playaways are the first all-in-one audiobook that needs no CDs, no special software, no downloading.
Just press play – and listen to mysteries, novels, adventure fiction, biographies and lots more.
The library has over 200 playaways to check out – and the collection is growing. All you need is one AAA battery and earphones.
Teachers! Let us know what lessons are taking place in the classroom and what assignments students are working on at home. The more we know the better prepared we can be to assist your students!
We are happy to put together homework shelves in the library with the most appropriate resources or visit the classroom for research instruction.
