Novelist K-8 is a great tool to locate books for use with children in grades K-8. Books are searchable by author, title, series name, Lexile level (reading level), and plot (including character, topic, time period, and setting).  Searches will retrieve descriptions, book reviews, discussion guides, and feature articles related to books of interest. It includes lists of award-winning fiction, book lists arranged by genre and subgenre, feature articles, thematic units, teacher resources, and more.

Die cut machines are available in the Curriculum Materials Center.  Normal hours for the die cut room are 7:30-5:00, Monday-Friday.  If you need access outside of those hours, ask at the Circulation Desk on the main floor. Anyone is welcome to use the die cut machines, but must bring their own paper.
