Novel-Ties Videos Offered by Multnomah County Library: Check out this new resource from the Multnomah County Library (Oregon): Novel-Ties! https://multcolib.org/educators/school-corps/novelties. Multnomah County Library School Corps librarians wanted to share these videos, in hopes they will be useful in serving schools, educators and library workers. Cathy Camper, a School Corps librarian, sent this message: “Novel-ties videos will introduce fiction for 4th-8th grade students that was published in late 2014 and early 2015. We’ve chosen titles specifically for their discussability, and most titles received multiple starred reviews. We’ve included discussion/extension ideas and related websites for each. These videos work best on computers and laptops; some features will not work on tablets or mobile devices.”
