COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS THROUGH THE TRANSCRIBE-A-THON
Today, September 25 from 3:30-5 p.m., the MW Library will host its first Transcribe-a-thon for this school year. This is an opportunity to decode historic documents into searchable digital versions for the benefit of historians, scholars, genealogists, and other researchers. Ms. Sonya Coleman from the Library of Virginia will be here to share exciting project updates. Enjoy free sweet treats and get a cool button at this annual kickoff event. Once you participate in person, you will have the option to continue earning community service hours (which count as outside of school service hours) by participating in future transcribe-a-thons and/or transcribing historic documents online from anywhere. In future on-site events here at the MW Library, you will also have the option to transcribe for the Library of Virginia or the Library of Congress during those events. See Ms. DeGroat in the library to learn how to get involved.
