School Librarian Collaborates with Classroom Teacher to Boost Ebook Circulation. Linda Martin Over the past two years, I’ve been trying to expand many of our services beyond their usual seasonal, circulation, or time-of-day boundaries.
I helped morph our Learning Commons into a 24/7 operation, make our Little Free Library year-round, and extend our system bookmobile as a vehicle to eliminate summer slide. My promotion of new books and reader’s advisory in-house during the school year has resulted in increased circulation and a cadre of fifth grade boys who regularly share their needs and wants for my consideration list. My latest such attempt was to analyze our ebook collection and see if I could find a way to encourage students to use it outside of school hours. I approached fifth grade teacher Pam Davis, who regularly collaborates with me, and asked if she would be interested in playing in this particular sandbox. Chat + Group presentations = a winning combo A student explores an ebook option. It took a while for the students to get the hang of the book discussion.
Puzzle Installation & Collaborative Project - Tim Kelly, artist. The Puzzle Art Installation & Collaborative Project is a growing and traveling group art exhibition.
You don't have to be an artist to participate, you just have to have something to say. People of all ages have contributed their individual voice collectively with others to form this historic and massive art project. It's a simple way for each of us to tell our own story. The Puzzle Art Installation & Collaborative Project is about expressing ones self and collaborating with others. Each piece starts out blank white. The project is being sustained and maintained by the efforts of the artist Tim Kelly and his cast of artistic helpers... where it continues to evolve and grow into something amazing. What makes the puzzle installation so interesting is the unique message or story of each individual puzzle piece. Several small sub-projects are currently being created and displayed across the country and around the world.
Groups contact Tim Kelly directly to make arrangments. Art is good, Mamascout: 25 mini-adventures in the library. We spend many afternoons at our neighborhood library.
At one point our time switched from going to find particular books, to just hanging out. For hours. Reading, exploring, asking questions, sharing, talking.... I wanted to share a quick list of fun things you can do at the library other than just check out books. Any of these ideas would be a great boredom buster. Please share the interesting, fun or just odd things your family does at the library in the comments! You can download a copy to keep in your purse or journal here. 1. Are you interested in infusing your family life with more creativity and connection?
Literary Hoots. Save libraries: free posters to print! - Sarah McIntyre. Last night I made some posters for the London #CarnegieOccupation march from Carnegie Library to Minet Library at 11:30 this Saturday (9 April): But then Minet Library asked if they could have copies of the posters, too!
So here are some downloadable versions. Feel free to use these posters in any non-commercial way that promotes libraries. (And I'd appreciate a credit, just because I'm an illustrator and you should always credit illustrators.) :) If you get a chance, I'd love it if you'd leave a note in the comments, saying where you are, and if you're using it in any particular library!
