Projects this week

  • Juvenile fiction weeding (working on it)
  • FB posts promoting nonfiction collection
  • Flyers promoting book-a-librarian making sessions
  • Due date slips for younger readers
  • Of COURSE I have a sinus infection. Ugh. My voice went by Friday, so I just did the Library on the Go visits and one of my staff stepped in to do the kindergarten storytimes.
  • I think I will have to do a Pokemon club for younger kids. Too many are devastated that they cannot attend the 5th grade and up one we just started. Maybe sort them into one group that is "serious" and wants to trade/play and one that just wants to do crafts and watch movie clips. I need to think about this a lot more, but my brain is very foggy right now.
  • Dog Man, books on Japanese-American internment (school), reluctant, graphic-novel only reader, AG Felicity (after I'd just pulled them of course), more high-fantasy graphic novels.
