TwosDays - Amanda - Overdrive & National Geographic

This video was shared in November, but it’s a great reminder for those long road trips or relaxation time over break!

Don’t forget you can check-out audiobooks as well as online printed materials from the website/ app Overdrive! We are so fortunate to have amazing resources provided not only to our students but teachers through the LMC. Overdrive is a digital library that students, as well as staff, can use to download an e-book or audio book. You can download the app and read the books on your phone or iPad or use your school device to access the books and audiobooks. National Geographic is also an amazing database that you and your students can use to access every magazine with full image scans since 1888! Check out these resources from the LMC homepage and feel free to reach out to Monica Tolva or myself for more help.
