The NYC Department of Education has begun a distance learning effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.
We, the Passages Academy school librarians, are considering our students’ needs and hope they will have access to wi-fi in the days and weeks ahead.
However, at last word the students did not have access from their residences and detention centers, and thus we hope that will change as soon as possible.
For now we’re working hard to create the best library and information resources for our students, and hope to have a digital school library platform
available by the end of the week.
In the meantime, Junior Library Guild has generously made their ebook collections available to all. Their selections of approximately 40 items for elementary, middle, and high school readers include a Passages favorite, The Nazi Hunters , as well as the intriguing Unusual Creatures and several biographies, including Heather E. Schwartz’s Lin Manuel Miranda: Revolutionary Playwright, Composer and Actor and a biography-in-context from World Book on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
