Help us cut down on paper and ink that might otherwise be used for printouts that don’t get picked up. All jobs sent to the color printer “RowleyCOLOR” will need to be released at the print release station on the printer island. Just log in with your LabNet ID, view your account and click on the job to be printed.

It has moved to the middle school library reference desk. When you send a print job, please check that your job goes to “RowleyB_W1″ or “RowleyCOLOR” if you need color printouts. Otherwise, *gasp* you’ll have to *walk* over to the middle school library reference desk to pick it up. We know it’s really far but, if you do send it, please pick it up there. In the meantime you get to say “hello” to Ms. Oakes or Ms. St. Clair.

Hey, Deb Caletti fans! Her new book The Secret Life of Prince Charming was released this May– just in time for summer reading. But, what happens when Deb Caletti *gasp* runs out of books to read.
Finding the right book, she writes, is like trying to satisfy a food craving. “But there wasn’t The One. That certain something that will fill the specific craving, same as an exact and particular food item you are doomed to not have around the house (Lays Sour Cream and Onion chips, but not with the ridges, only the smooth ones).”
