Maple Hill High School Library

Please take a look at this extremely helpful New York State Regents Review website created by the Oswego City School District: http://www.regentsprep.org/

The goal of this nonprofit site is to help high school students meet the New York State Regents requirements in English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. This project is supported by a federally-funded Title III Technology Literacy Challenge Grant and the Learning Technology Grant.

This site is already linked on the library webpage under “Regents Review“.

Inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month is now held every April, when publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools and poets around the country band together to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Thousands of businesses and non-profit organizations participate through readings, festivals, book displays, workshops, and other events.

Please visit the library to see the wide array of poetry books that the library has for you to borrow and enjoy.

April 29th 2010 is “Poem In Your Pocket Day” and the library will celebrate by handing out poems to all who visit. Come join the celebration of this art.

Earth Day 2010 can be a turning point to advance climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs.

The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press is an independent, non-partisan public opinion research organization that studies attitudes toward politics, the press and public policy issues. In this role it serves as a valuable information resource for political leaders, journalists, scholars and citizens.

Come to the library and see the wide array of books we own on women’s history and biographies about women.  In honor of Women’s History Month, each March, New York Public Library librarians present a monthlong series of posts highlighting the many amazing women they’ve discovered through the print and online resources of The New York Public Library.
