PRE-SEASON ACTION FOR CYBERSONICS!

Last weekend, Cybersonics had two pre-season competitions. On Saturday at the end of qualification matches the team was in 6th place and became the 4 team alliance. During the playoff matches they experienced some mechanical issues and did not make it to finals.  

On Sunday, after qualification matches, the team was in 7th place and they were picked to be with the 3 place alliance team. Overall, the team placed 3rd. 

It was a very exciting event and the team really enjoyed being able to compete for the first time in 2 years. Their coaches, Mr. & Mrs. Reckner, are proud of the students and their accomplishments during this competition, since it was the first “real” event in nearly 2 years.  

The official Cybersonics season begins on January 8, 2022.

PUBLIC LIBRARY CARD DRIVE - BE A PART OF THE LITERACY MOVEMENT!

From Nov. 8 - 21, the Bucks County Free Library will be running a Virtual Library Card Drive for the Palisades School District! During the dates of the drive, you will be able to register your child for a library card right from home, and your child will receive their brand-new Bucks County Free Library card at school. Whether you choose to visit the library in person or enjoy our services entirely from home, there is so much your child can do with a library card!

 

All 7 of our branches are currently open, including branches in Quakertown and Perkasie. We invite you to visit one of our branches and browse the large collections of books, audiobooks, movies, board games, and magazines that you can borrow, all for free. For quick pick-up of items, we continue to offer curbside pick-up at all branches. Simply request the items you want by placing holds on them in our online catalog. You'll get an e-mail when they're ready for you to pick up, and we'll bring your items outside to your car when you arrive at the library. 

 

Our digital resources are available anytime, anywhere, and are completely free with your library card. Use Hoopla to borrow movies and TV shows you can watch on your smart TV. Enjoy books and audiobooks on your e-reader, tablet, or smart phone with CloudLibrary. Get homework help from live tutors on Brainfuse HelpNow. Find helpful facts, articles, and photos for school assignments by searching through the many kid-safe resources in Power Kids. The library is constantly adding new items, resources, and programs, making your library card a source of endless possibilities!

 

Ready to register your child for a library card? Here's how:

  1. Click on this link to go to the online library card application for students - https://buckslib.org/school-outreach-library-card-application/ 

  2. Enter the password: $choolYear2021

  3. Fill out the application with your child's information. If you have more than one child, fill out a separate application for each child. Students ages 14+ can fill out their applications themselves.

  4. We'll receive your application(s) at the library and set up your child(ren)'s library card account(s). You'll get an e-mail with the account information as soon as the account is ready. This means you can start using it right away, even before you have the physical card.

  5. After the drive has ended, your child will receive their physical library card at school. 

I hope you enjoy the many resources the library has to offer your child and your family!
