Do you have technology issues? Does your computer blue-screen, die frequently, or scream error messages at you? Are you doing a research project, but don’t know where to look? Look no further, for the Upper Perk High School Library has been upgraded!

Inside the library, students are welcomed with brand-new charging stations. These stations, positioned at the central table of the library, can be used to charge both computers and personal devices within the library only. Although these stations are accessible to all students, new rules that disallow individuals from borrowing chargers have been put in place, so make sure to bring your chargers.

Online, a new interface for library materials through Destiny Discover has been set in stone for all to use! This resource is linked in UPSD Chrome Bookmarks and helps students gather information on the books within the library with ease. This trusty new resource will provide students with all the library books, categorized by genre, and inform them of their availability.

The tech support room can be found within the library, just behind the main desk. Inside, you’ll find UPHS’s residential tech support, Mrs. Yaroch. If Mrs. Yaroch isn’t inside, students may wait in the library for her return or ask Mrs. Hawthorne for assistance. Mrs. Hawthorne started her role as the new school librarian last year. Along with keeping the library in tip-top shape, she also teaches a variety of classes. Classes commonly utilize the library during a project or miniature lesson.

The Upper Perk High School Library is setting the foundation for our ever-improving school. Thanks to the librarian, tech support, and all of the supporting teachers and staff, Upper Perk is continuing to progress and further benefit its students. Be sure to take advantage of these updates and stop by the library whenever you’re thirsty for knowledge… or need to charge your phone.
