Welcome to Teendom, Tweendom!

We are thrilled to have you reading this year as we share all about those free and publicly available resources that we can offer you, your students, and your 6th-12th grade classroom or library.

As the school year progresses, we will periodically post information about contests, events, research tools, and services that may be of help to you as an educator. For example, there's that Poison Pen: the Super Short Scary Story Contest coming up in October, complete with prizes in each age bracket! Then again, you might be more interested to hear that we're hosting a free SAT/ACT practice exam on October 5th. Perhaps you're curious about the specialized database instruction we can offer when your class has an intensive research project or persuasive essay. We're excited to share with you about all of this (and more).

Here's to an excellent year!
