Library

Welcome to the Orca Library!

Greetings from Ms. Appleyard!

My goal as Orca’s Teacher-Librarian is to provide a safe and dynamic space for reading, researching, and interacting with a variety of information resources. At Orca we aspire for our students to become empowered by encouraging a love of reading and supporting curiosity for the world around them.

Come and see me in the Orca Library! You are always welcome.

Library Book Check Out Opportunities!

Students have an opportunity to come to the library during their classroom’s library time. All students have a designated time to come and check out books. In addition to this, students are sent to the library individually or in small groups with a note from their teachers.

Seattle Public Schools Online Resources

Usually, I teach students about these in the library but this year I’m sending a video. I hope you find it useful!

Seattle Public Library

Library Link for All Grades!

All students K-12, can now access SPL resources and books without a library card! You need a library account number and a PIN. I’ve included some information below on how to do it!

Library Account Number :  990000  (four zeroes) followed by your 7-digit student ID number to create a 13-digit number. If your  student ID  is 1234567, your  Library account number  is 9900001234567 

(If you’re not sure of your student’s ID, please reach out to me or your teacher. It’s found on the source, on progress reports and all teachers have access to it on PowerTeacher.)

PIN You will need a four-digit PIN to log in to your account. A PIN was created automatically when your account was set up. PINs are the student’s birth month and day. For example if you were born on November 7th, your PIN is 1107.

Coding at Home!

Computer Science at Home offers a nice range of coding activities from pre-reader games to online courses for older students.
