The BHS library is transferring next semester from the ATHENA circulation and cataloging system to DESTINY. This is to help bring our library to 21st Century standards. The new system can be accessed at home or anywhere internet is accessible. This library database will not only include the BHS Library holdings but also other libraries. Also, there will be another reliable database offered to students and staff for research purposes, Web Path Express. More information will come in the fall.

Congratulations to freshman Tyler Easley who received an Honorable Mention in “Letters About Literature,” a contest sponsored by the West Virginia Center for the Book and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Tyler will attend an awards ceremony and reception in Charleston on Wednesday, May 29 to honor students selected for state level judging by national screeners. The piece he wrote for the contest was a letter to author Leora Tanenbaum in response to her book, and expressed his appreciation for her insights on the double standard that exists regarding male and female sexuality.
