Jean Little Library: This week at the library; or, I feel frazzled

A screenshot of the spreadsheets I'm working on

What's going on, in my head and at the library

Supervisory things, cleaning off my desk, and going over lots of misc. details. First meeting of the Autism support group!! Only one person came, but it's a beginning!

Planning summer programs and continuing to work on weeding. Board meeting for a charter school group in the afternoon. I told the teens to be good when I left b/c our director was feeling frazzled and they didn't know what I meant!

Worked a half day. It was kind of crazy and then it wasn't. I worked on collection development spreadsheets because my mind was feeling a little fragile.

Welty Environmental Center (4K field trips) (2 performances)
This is why I took a half day on Wednesday. The regular presenter has moved jobs (how could you do this to us Lena??) and the volunteer covering was a little freaked out at the prospect of 100 four year olds! However, as I reassured him, kindergarteners aren't critical! They all had a lot of fun, learned about pollination, and were very well-behaved, even the ones who, as I like to say, have personality.

Projects in progress and completed

What the kids are reading; A selection

Tommy by Blumenthal
Tricky lexile questions. I really wish that, if teachers require kids who are reading at 1200 or above to stick to their level, they gave them a LIST.
Frogs (real frogs)
YA read-alikes for Hush Hush - Cynthia Leititch Smith (already had) Forest of Hands and Teeth
Red Queen
Kung Pow Chicken - checked out, took Space Taxi instead
Missing volumes of Star Wars Legacy - I think they're out of print
Angry Birds books
Little House continuations
Kamisama Kiss
Strong reader finished Wolves of Beyond, I suggested some other series but then got her interested in Redwall. I think that is a match made in heaven.
Car books
