PCSD Librarians Attend the Inaugural School Library Symposium at Ole Miss

(12/12): The librarians of Pontotoc City School District attended the inaugural symposium for school libraries this week at Ole Miss. The presenters informed us of up-to-date information on weeding books, censorship issues, Artificial Intelligence, TechTalk, Canva for Educators, and Magnolia resources. The University of Mississippi Museum has different traveling trunks for teachers to use in their classrooms. A new one is expected to be released this spring - Pontotoc county's very own, M.B. Mayfield. The trunk lessons will contain a thematic introduction, materials and instructions for a visual arts component, a language arts component, and a social studies or history component. A local author, Dr. Gloria Burgess, spoke of her book, Pass It On, and how librarians and educators have great influence on students to inspire them to pass kindness and good deeds on to others.
