This Week's "The Horns: Library tech tips & resources"

Introducing "The Horns: Library tech tips and resources"

In my new position in a middle school, I have decided to start a weekly newsletter.  I hope to offer some quick tips, an insight on what is happening in the library, and a weekly website or app.  This hopefully will help me cut down on extra emails as I'm always tempted to send every cool thing that comes my way out to everyone.  My last school complained of too many emails even when I did cut back....so....time to try something new! :-)

I am using Smore.com, although I'm debating whether the $59/year is worth it.  I do enjoy how simple it is to set up, but there are a few features I would like to control.  I have 2 more weeks to decide if I'm going to commit!  (By the way, if you are new to Smore newsletters, there is an educator sale for newbies!!  Only $39/year...ends soon!)

Here are the first couple of newsletters for your reading pleasure:
