Welcome to the Newman Library Web Page
from The St. Luke's Library Staff Librarian: Mrs. Mary G. Milligan
Library Assistant: Ms. Henrietta Quintanilla
You can use this page to find out what's going on in the library as well as to find helpful information for research projects.
The Newman Library serves the entire St. Luke’s Episcopal School community. Its collection of over 23,000 volumes and diverse collection of periodical reference databases, supports the curriculum, provides for independent inquiry, and encourages a love of reading for learning and for pleasure.
It is the mission of the school library program to create a culture of reading, to ensure that our students are information literate, life-long learners and effective and responsible users of ideas and information.
Clare Dunkle will visit St. Luke's on Nov. 20 in the Newman Library as part of the "Fritzi Abbott, How to Write" author series. The topic will be how to craft a novel.
An online version of what was formerly known as the card catalog. In addition to being able to find books in the St. Luke's Library by author, title, subject, and key words, books may be found by AR reading level. The library's online catalog also provides access to approximately 10,000 high quality and updated websites.
Book Talk http://www.mackinbooktalk.com/ Student web site that provides a synopsis of the Texas Bluebonnet Award books and Texas Lone Star books plus information on the authors and illustrators. Also, students may rate the books on the lists.
EBSCO: http://search.epnet.com Over 36 databases of quality full-text content from popular magazines, scholarly and education journals, newspapers, newswires, almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, photos, and other reference sources.
Read one page anywhere in the book. Put one finger up for every word you can not pronounce or do not know.
1 Finger: Hold up your thumb. Thumbs Up! This book will be pretty easy for you.
2 Fingers: Hold up your thumb and first finger to make an "L". "L" stands for Learning. You might have to stretch your mind a bit, but it will be a good learning book for you.
3 Fingers:Your two fingers together indicate you may need help - a dictionary or reading partner.
4 Fingers:Your three middle fingers make a "W" for Warning! This book may be too much of a struggle to read.
5 Fingers: All five fingers is a signal to Stop for now. You can always try to read the book later.
Birthday Book Tradition
A long standing St. Luke’s tradition is to give book donations to the school library in celebration of birthdays. Birthday book donations may be made in two ways: by purchasing a book to present to the school library, or by donating money for the school librarian to purchase a book from the library wish list. Special bookplates acknowledge all donations to the school library. The donation of a birthday book is optional, but it is a lasting contribution that students and faculty will enjoy for years.
