Welcome to the BAEC library! I am so excited to return to my Blue Devil roots as your new Burgettstown District Librarian!

Be sure to follow this page for any news, information, and anything else you'd need to know about our elementary school's library.

- Miss Markish

I can be reached via email at lmarkish@burgettstown.k12.pa.us or phone at ext. 3230

Have book to donate? Please read below!

When donating books, please consider the following:

• condition of the books
• reading level and grade appropriateness (most levels are accepted, since I also manage the collection at the middle/high school)
• interest level
• paperback or hard back?
  • While I welcome either donation, hard back books are often more durable to actually add into the catalog to head to the shelves. Paperback books will either be added to the shelves or added to collections to give away to students as rewards. Either way, you will be helping get books into the hands of our students!

With SO much information available on the internet, it's hard to know what is good news and what is just "noise." Let me help you weed through the unreliable sources! The following sites provide endless amounts of information for our students, in addition to teaching them the proper ways to search!

This database includes encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri, periodicals, links to primary documents, atlases, timelines, news features, and much more. All of the databases can be searched simultaneously or separately.  Clink on the link and use the username and password given to you by your teacher.
