Right now our school is online because of rising COVID cases, so students cannot access our library, but we were really excited to receive a package of books from one of our former teachers living in America! Thank you, Austin-sensei!

We've been working hard to update and organize the You Tube channel for LIXON Library. Now videos to help you with using the system are in a "LIXON Library Help" playlist. We've also made new videos, such as this one on how to use the new Borrow Books Multiple function.

We had a great workshop on Zoom for LIXON Library yesterday. Lesley Ito pointed out the differences between extensive reading programs in universities or jukus vs. eikaiwa schools, as well as how shared reading activities can make students interested in reading on their own.
