Friday afternoon, finally stopped raining this week, homecoming game tonight, what a way to end the week.
We've been SUPER busy this week. Next week is ISTEP and classes have stormed the Media Center for books. Good thing, the testing week presents tons of downtime for casual reading.
In addition to tons of circulation this week we've seen an increase in human circulation. The new paint has beckoned some to the library this fall.
I attended a good conference Wednesday of this week. I heard a gal from YALSA speak. YALSA is the national version of school library associations. Usually someone who speakes from YALSA attends a state-wide meeting. The day was informational and allowed me a ton of networking with other media specialists. Due to afterschool activities I was forced to leave early.
I've been busy pouring over new books (additions) for the library. I've got to whittle down my budget by year end or face the possibility of loosing it. On my radar screen are books 1200 lexile and above. I've got a really good list, some fiction and some non-fiction. I'm also looking to expand the low end, particularly our new to English group.
I've spent the last two weeks ordering and shopping. I'm now anxiously waiting for the stuff to show up.
