Hoopla: With a Wakefield Library Card or a Boston Public Library Card (hardcard or eCard) you can create an account on Hoopla. Hoopla is awesome. It has free movies, albums, audiobooks, ebooks, graphic novels, comic books, etc. Here are a few of their current offerings: Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey; The Sun and Her Flowers Sarah Schmidt's See What I Have Done Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Graphic Novel Adaption Film: What We Do in the Shadows (It's like The Office mixed with a vampire movie- hilarious and spooky). Feel free to send me an email or drop by the library if you ever need help with eBooks or anything related to your studies. -Mrs. Ho

Over the summer we started a massive renovation and reorganization process. It took ages to get the library in working order, but we are finally done! Every single book had to be organized and put back on the shelves. We got rid of a ton of old materials to make way for new resources. The collection is in better shape than ever. We have new books and supplies on the way, and we now have a streamlined, dynamic space for you to use as you learn at WMHS, including a growing makerspace in our former library workroom.
Here are some of the opportunities and resources that the library provides to you! Access to books, databases, & magazines; access to Hoopla and other eMaterials, research assistance; citation guidance; application expertise; first-level technology assistance; craft and project materials; access to our makerspace/conference space (with a reservation); tutoring space; presentation space (great for practicing); reading recommendations; book club; social media accounts promoting opportunities for teens (@volpereads on Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram; we also have a Facebook page); etc! The Boring, but ever so important, Gov. Volpe Library Expectations
Take care. Mrs. Ho |
