Notes
  • Finished weeding up to 796 (sports)
  • Wrote reports and budget requests for next year, involving lots of measuring and cursing the architects who made that one corner so weird-shaped that it's basically one inch too small for any corner desks to be put in there. Also freaked out staff and patrons by knocking on walls randomly to see if I could mount cabinets there.
  • Staff schedule (almost) done through February!
Collection notes
  • What is the likelihood of a kid coming in asking for a bowling book if I weed our (one) bowling book from the 80s? High, probably.
  • Minecraft the lost journals by Morgan Winter - took a while to figure out what minecraft series this 1st grader wanted - promised her to buy them for the next time she comes in.
  • Battle of the Books - I totally forgot about this, they've changed things this year and I don't know how high participation will be. I'm going to try not pulling the books this year and I am also missing several from the list, especially older nonfiction that I weeded. It is available in the consortium though. We'll see what happens.
  • Popular book club pics - Hamster Holmes, Remy Sneakers, and funny picture books as always.
  • Historical fiction requests for school - noticed that I need a LOT more copies of I survived.
Professional Development
  • Scholastic Spring 2020 Online Preview
  • Imagine your story: Summer library program and early literacy
