Week 4: Book Repair and Weeding

 This week in the library was a busy one! I a plastic bin where I put books that need to be repaired, and it was time to start repairing several books! I was lucky enough to be able to order a CoverOne Machine that repairs the bind on books! I haven't used the machine until this week. I did have look up a YouTube video to make sure I was doing this correctly, but it was fairly user friendly! I repaired around 15 books in no time!


The machine just simply heats up, and you place the glue strip in the binding and then close the book and place the binding down in the machine. You allow time for the blue to melt and adhere and VOILA! It is complete! Books are back on the shelf in no time. 

Another task that I completed this week was a little bit of a weeding project. I ran a report in Destiny to find books that had been checked out the least in the A-L section of Fiction. I was able to weed several books that had infrequent circulation. I allowed teachers to look through these books for their own classroom library, and many were taken off my hands!

Week 3: September Read Aloud

This week I started my September Read Alouds! I sent out the attached newsletter to all teachers in my school along with a Google Calendar booking link. The classes really enjoyed the book "How I Became a Pirate". I used the Novel Effect App again, and the sounds with this particular book were so fun.  With the read aloud students created a treasure map, colored a parrot, or matched the sequence of events of the story.  I also had two technology lessons that I taught this week for 4th grade. I focused on being safe online and how to create a slideshow using Google Slides.

Week 7- Week 10: Combining weeks due to school closures!

 Week 7: School closures due to Hurricane Helene  Week 8: This week was not as busy as I expected after coming back from being out all week. I did need to catch up on the Georgia Literacy Modules that are required from our county. I worked on that for a couple hours this week. I had several whole classes come in for book check out, but a lot of my teachers that had originally scheduled a read aloud and activity with me asked to cancel or reschedule because they had to catch up on work from last week. This is totally understandable, and I enjoy being able to be flexible with teachers and just trying to meet them where they are at in order to support them.  Week 9: Fall Break- School Closed all week Week 10: This week was fun! I had several read alouds that were rescheduled from the previous weeks. We read "Creepy Pair of Underwear" and did a sequence of events activity. The kids loved the story and really did a great job working on the activity.  Another really exciti...
