Why Blog?

This blog has been created to provide a space for library announcements, an alternate access point for databases when the L-S servers are down, and a forum for the school community. Click on the "comment" link to ask a question, suggest a topic, etc. This is a moderated blog, so comments will be reviewed before posting.

L-S Library awarded PICTURING AMERICA Grant

PICTURING AMERICA, an initiative from the National Endowment for the Humanities in cooperation with the American Library Association, brings high-quality reproductions of notable American art into classrooms and libraries. Picturing America gives participants the opportunity to learn about our nation’s history and culture using art as a catalyst for the study of America—the cultural, political, and historical threads woven into our nation’s fabric over time, enhancing the teaching and understanding of America’s past.
