October 2-6 (7 Hours)

Monday (2 hours)

 Monday was a slower day. There were not that many classes in the library. This gave us time to work on work the collection. The library had recently purchased a large group of books. There books needed to be added to our database and barcoded before they could be put out on the shelves.

Wednesday (2 hours)

Wednesday picked up a little bit more, as there were a lot more classes coming in. So many that during the time that I was there only things that got accomplished was checking in and out books. I am noticing that the formula of having students pay a dollar to check out books and having to pay another dollar to turn them in (when owing fines or having lost books) is working. Students are paying the money or finding the books.

Thursday (2 hours)

Today a sixth grade teacher brought her class into the library for the first time. Students were informed on how book checkouts worked, what kinds of books were available in the library, and what else they could do in the library outside of checking out books. After the classes were done students checkout out their first books of the school year. 

Friday (1 hour)

 

Friday was a training on how to properly create a space on eclass pages for cultivated resources for our students. As a county we use to use symbaloos, however, symbaloo noticed how much our county was using it in the schools and tried to charge for it. Our school declined and just recently found an alternative, so every grade level has a training on how to implement the new tool properly.
