Almost a new library...

Just before Fall Break and with the help of Ms. Clarke, Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Christensen I took all of the fiction books off of the shelves and re-organized them into genres.  This was a huge job... way bigger than I anticipated.  We are done and we now have several section in our fiction...


Historical Fiction
Mystery
Fantasy
Science Fiction
Ghost Stories/Paranormal
Classics
Black America
Native America
Holocoust
Books about Girls
Books about Boys
Graphic Novels
Plus the series section with books like Bone, Babymouse, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid


With this new system I will quickly be able to help students find books when their teachers send them in with a specific genre in mind.

Glorious Fall!

Halloween was such fun this year and now it's November 1st. Of all the glorious things... it rained. I love the rain and I love looking out of the 2nd story window of the library at the huge Sugar Maple tree across the street. This year I've been asked to help with "pick - up" which means every afternoon I go out and help the students at the crosswalk. Today I will go out with an umbrella. Not only do I get to look at the view from the library window now I get to be part of it.
