Students at the MS/HS can explore book choices on a virtual bookshelf in the library on the Promethean Board. Each book on the shelf is linked to a Book Trailer or Review.
Mr. Frimml, BC District Librarian states, "This is a great opportunity for students to interact with books and explore books available in the library. They also have the experience of book talks, book reviews and book trailers."
