You can print from anywhere, but pick up your printing at the end of the day–don’t waste paper. Please note: the printer is in the Study Room now.

Thank You for Your Support
Explore Your World With Books is the theme for 2023-2024 Pennsylvania Young Readers’ Choice Awards (PYRCA). The grant proposal is posted on DonorsChoose so that our students can have the books on the list. PYRCA is a fun activity that promotes reading of kid-endorsed books. Students just need to read three books from their grade list and vote in the spring for their favorite. It’s fun and will certainly promote an interest in reading, one of my goals for this school year!
Printing
You can add the library printers to your Chromebook by following these steps:
- Go to the assignment you want to print. Select See More. . . from the dropdown print menu.
- Look at the bottom left-hand corner. Click Manage.
- Select Add Printer.
- Give the printer a name, then type this IPAddress: 10.36.101.107.
- Return to the original assignment. Refresh the page.
- Go to the dropdown print menu and select See more. . . The name you gave the printer should appear.
Pick up your items from the basket by the printers in the library lobby. They are disposed of at the end of each week. If it was important enough to print out, it should be important enough to collect. Students coming to pick up papers will enter the library, take their papers and exit.
