That means that most of our resources were
published 9 years before our students were born.

Responding to student and
teacher needs

About ½ of the faculty responded
to the survey

I’m submitting two requisitions today
![Page 10: Books Databases and Destiny](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/54837b9db4af9f4d4b8b4603/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
One is for new nonfiction titles.
(I reduced the original order by half to save money. We need the books, but I know money is tight. Also, PTA agreed to pay for this year’s fiction titles. I understand the district’s financial constraints- but a library withers and dies without investment.)

One is for two online databases.
(These two databases cover five content areas: Science, Math, Computers, Geography, and World Cultures. This requisition is in direct response to the requests of the staff as seen in the surveys.)

But perhaps more importantly, the quote
that we received to update the library
software to Destiny is going to expire soon.

Without a software upgrade, students and staff cannot access and search library resources
on demand.

We need to step forward, for our
students.
