Prodell Middle School seventh grade students traveled back in time with the Long Island Library Resource Council’s 4-panel display and traveling exhibit: Two Hundred Years on the Erie Canal. The students were engaged with this exhibit and deepened their studies with related resources under the tutelage of librarian Ann-Marie Kalin. The students engaged in some old-fashioned, fact-finding research in the Erie Canal’s innovation, location and engineering as well as key people involved in its development.

Library staff and students also celebrated National Library Month with a multitude of engaging activities including: Stick Together Mosaic, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Guessing Game, Scavenger Hunts, Makerspace - Make-Do and Shrinky Dinks. Additionally, they used the BIG Read program to ignite energy behind several titles to celebrate the Wildcats with Character theme of Acceptance. Books included: Cece Bell’s “El Deafo,” Sharon Draper’s “Out of My Mind,” Gordon Korman’s “Restart,” Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s “Fish in a Tree,” Jason Reynold’s “Ghost” and “An Invisible Thread” by Laura Schroff.
