STUDENT ID CARDS

I would like to encourage all students to please bring their student ID cards with them when they visit the library. The library is often busy and loud; student ID cards help staff with the speed and accuracy of issuing loans. Student ID cards also make printing, photocopying and scanning easier and quicker. Thank you.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Friday 8 March is International Women’s Day. The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world.

This week we are displaying books in line with this theme. 

WHEELERS EBOOKS

Wheelers ePlatform is an excellent resource for eBooks and audiobooks. With approximately 3,000 titles available, you are sure to find something that interests you. Last year there were almost 1400 loans of eBooks and audiobooks by McKinnon Secondary College students and this year there have been almost 200 loans so far.

Wheelers ePlatform can be accessed by students via the library catalogue or directly using this link: https://mckinnonsc.wheelers.co/

ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIAS

I would like to take this opportunity to remind students and families about the two online encyclopedias that are accessible through the library's catalogue. The World Book Online encyclopedia is a trusted source of information for students of all ages, with articles, videos, and other multimedia resources. The Encyclopedia Britannica is also available, which provides comprehensive and authoritative information on a wide range of topics.
