• From the Library: Meet a New York Times Best Selling Author

  Exciting news from the library!
  
  On Thursday, September 11th, Chaminade will welcome Julie Berry—a New York Times bestselling and award-winning author!

  
  Julie Berry has written amazing books like Lovely War, The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place, and The Passion of Dolssa, and now she’s here to share her brand-new novel, If Looks Could Kill. It’s a true-crime thriller turned mythic-odyssey, pitting Jack the Ripper against Medusa. Simon & Schuster calls it “a love song to sisterhood and a romantic literary tour de force laced with humor.”

   

  This is a rare chance for students to meet a real author, hear about her writing process, and ask questions. All students are invited, but space is limited! To sign up, students can use this form.  Students will gather in the library during Flex block on Thursday, Sept. 11 for this event. 

   

  You can also order your child their very own signed & personalized copy of If Looks Could Kill.

• Tech Hub

  Welcome to the Tech Hub!
  
  

  Your Tech Hub is in the 200 building across the 8th-grade lawn. We aid with all school laptop-related issues. If the problems cannot be resolved at Tech Hub, we will provide a loaner laptop while the student laptop is being repaired. Loaner laptops have all the same functionality and software as student-issued laptops.
  
  

  Students are expected to start the day with fully charged batteries and bring their Power adapters on campus. If a student forgets their laptop they can ask for a loaner laptop for the day (once per semester). The Tech Hub does not loan out chargers or styluses. The library can provide limited numbers of Battery banks and Temporary chargers that can be checked out for the day if the system needs to be charged. A loaner laptop will be provided if your laptop needs to be sent out for repairs.

  
  We have links below to order replacements if a charger or stylus is lost:
