Stressbusters from McKillop librarians
The librarians and staff at McKillop Library know that it’s probably the end of a long week for everyone after this first full week of Virtual Salve! This is why we decided to compile a list of some fun things for you to check out from the library — even remotely!
So read below to find a movie, a funny story, or e-book that will resonate with you and help to lighten the mood on this first Friday of remote learning.
McKillop Library’s e-book collection
Search for our vast collection of e-books to read during your free time using the library’s home page. You’ll find something interesting to past the time, we just know it!
The Library’s movies and videos
There are films available through the library’s database called Films on Demand. There are thousands and thousands of documentaries, segments, and videos on the database that will spark your mind and imagination. Some films that you might like to check out are:
