Extended Hours and After School Tutorial in the Library

With the help of a large grant to expand after school opportunities,the library is now the home of the after school tutorial program at Edison High School. Also, students can earn 5 credits toward high school graduation just for attending tutorial. Information is available both in the north administrative office by contacting our new program director, Ellie Honordoost. Or, by coming to tutorial and talking to one of the tutors for CSU Fresno. See you at the library!

Back To School!~

Tonight is Back to School night at Edison High School. Come by the library to find out your students grades, your login to PowerSchool, or how you can help the Library with time or donations. See you there!

As school starts, so to does the first year of the library checking out the text books. Although it has been an extremely physically demanding job, I know that we will save student, the district and ultimately ourselves a great deal of time and money. If you have textbooks from other schools, you can bring them to our library and we will help to clear your account and get the books back to where they belong. We have some new books that will be available as soon as we can open, which we hope will be soon. Tiger Peace....Tiger Love...and have a great school year!

"The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins

I really enjoyed this book! I can not wait for book 2 to come out! If I were a betting person, I would bet that the website and games associated with the book and eventually the movie will be a hit! Book reviews and links to cites can be found on the Edison High wiki.

New Books Arriving Daily...

We have been adding new books to the collection, mostly new Fiction, but also highly requested titles from the past. "In Cold Blood," by Truman Capote has finally arrived. "Lost Boy," the sequel the the highly popular "A Child Called It," has also arrived. A batch of the latest award winner books and the latest shipment of Junior Library Guild picks are also finding their way to our shelves. Come on in and check out the new additions!

New Books to Read...

Yes, we have new books slowing making their way into the collection. It is very easy to locate these books when you search the library catalog. Instead of a "Basic" search, choose Copy Catagories, scroll down to New Books Fall 2008. Choose to "view" the list. You can then sort by title, author, and date. Use the link to view a video to see how it's done: http://www.screencast.com/t/FpQbUlf1

More books are on there way...I tried to get a copy of everything that was in the "Book Request" box, and a few new "hot" titles I thought you all would enjoy. Happy Reading!!!!

It's a New School Year and Things are A Changn'

The Library at Edison High School has been a very busy place, despite the fact that we have not "officially" opened to the students. We have a new Library Technician that comes to us from Fresno High School and has 15 years of experience. Please come in and welcome Mrs. Driver to Tiger Town. Other changes this year include full conversion to our new catalog system Destiny. The catalog is now assessable from the Internet while on any FUSD site. It is our goal to open the catalog for full Internet access in the future. New too this year is textbook check out. Soon all textbooks on campus will be bar coded and checked out through the Destiny system. It should allow students to more easily turn in and check out material. Expanding research opportunities have been provided to everyone with the purchase of three exceptional research databases giving students and staff access to national and international periodicals, newspapers, encyclopedic entries, essays, transcripts and books unparalleled to previous years offerings. Students can now access Gale's InfoTrac and Opposing Viewpoints Research Center from any internet connection. The necessary user name and passwords are provided to you on our wiki with direct links to the site. In addition to Gale, we were pleased to be able to also obtain most ABC Clio's History Social Science electronic sources and several of Marshall Cavendish's Science offerings
