Over the past few days, our Freshman English classes had the chance to explore all the resources available at the MCHS Manchikanti Library! Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Wright guided students through a library orientation (with a selfie scavenger hunt), showing them how to navigate the library, find books, and access online resources. The students are now equipped with the knowledge to take full advantage of all the #opportUNITIES our library has to offer! Happy reading!
