Warren County Memorial Library Celebrates Black History Month
Warren County, North Carolina – Warren County Memorial Library (WCML) will host a variety of programs, feature informative displays, and connect patrons with illuminating information as they celebrate Black History Month. The national theme for Black History Month 2021 is The Black Family: Representation, Identity, Diversity.
WCML is excited to have the opportunity to virtually host historian Howard Burchette for “The Story of North Carolina’s Buffalo Soldiers” on Friday, February 26th , at 1:00pm. The Buffalo Soldiers were six regiments of African-American soldiers authorized in 1866 to help keep the peace in the Great Plains as the railroad was expanding across the US. This program will highlight the men from North Carolina who served in these regiments. Mr. Burchette is a retired IBM data processing professional and historian with local ties. He has over 23 years of broadcast experience on public radio, hosting many shows, including his work as the current host of The Funk Show on WNCU 90.7 FM. This live event will take place via Zoom. It can be easily accessed by going to www.tinyurl.com/WCMLBurchette2021 or calling 646-558-8656. The meeting ID is 865 4352 5393 and the password is 479626.
The library is also hosting the “Seeking Justice Artistic Display” provided by the Warren County NAACP and its SPARK committee during the entire month of February. This display chronicles the history of the lynching of two men that happened in Warrenton in January of 1921. Interested parties can view the display at any time during the library’s regular business hours – Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 3:00pm.
In addition to the programs listed above, the library’s February event calendar is full of links, such as NC Learn’s “African-American Music Trail” and TheHistoryMakers’ “African-Americans in Science”, as well as additional events.

I had some parents say that their kids couldn't do iReady on an android tablet. Here's a little video to show how to still use your android tablets to do iReady. Sorry it has lots of extraneous noise. My kids were working on their classwork inside so I went outside to record. You'll hear cars going by.

We have opened the access to Accelerated Reader so that students can take tests throughout the day and night, as well as weekends. Also, we have taken the reading level limits off so students will no longer be limited to taking tests just on their reading level.
If you are having a problem with a technology issue with iStation or iReady, you can call Mrs. Paynter. Her number is 252-629-1336. She will be glad to assist you in any way she can.
We heard some parents are having problems with logging in to iStation. Mrs. Paynter made a video to show you what the problem may be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTKdnhop4P0
