Library Updates
If you currently have books checked out from our library, they will not be due until the building is open!
While school buildings are closed, we encourage you to keep reading and learning! Remember we do have a great fiction and nonfiction ebook collection. We also have available online: Teen Book Cloud, Pebble Go, Tumblebooks and MyOn, which have books for you to read in our Reading Databases.
The Fairfax County Public Library also has audio and eBooks available. If you need a library card, you can get a temporary one, good for six months, on their website.
Audible is providing free audiobooks for all ages and in six languages. Audiosync will offer free audiobooks for teens to download beginning April 30.
Please take advantage of all the resources available to you. Let us know if we can help you with your reading and research needs by emailing a librarian using your school Gmail. Remember our library website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Please follow us on Twitter @robinsonlibrary. We’re sharing some resources and activities with you there. Please tweet to us and share what you are reading! Use the hashtag #ramsread.
If you are moving and need to drop off library books contact Ms. Morgan, mnmorgan@fcps.edu.
We miss you all! Keep Calm and Read On!
Ms. Scott, Ms. Morgan, Ms. Reakes Smith and Ms. Conwell
