Day 2 in the Library

Today was another great day of learning!  I was able to practice so many things and even learned a few new tricks.  First off, I was able to assist with technology this morning by checking out and distributing Chromebooks.  I was able to see the organizational strategy used and plan to implement a checkout system at my school.  In addition, I was able to spend some quality time with 5th and 1st graders offering reader's advisory as needed.  It was wonderful!  My mentor knows her collection so well that she can offer suggestions off the top of her head.  This is a new goal for me...to read as many books as I can so that I can better assist readers.  Finally, we began an analysis of a section of the library.  There were several things to consider including a Titlewise report for aged books and the number of checkouts.  We now have a list of titles that may need to be weeded and will start that process later in the week.  My favorite part of the day was working with students and hearing about books and authors they enjoy.
