I took down all the books that were on display on the tops of the shelves in the fiction section and switched them out with new titles or swapped from the shelves below. It gave the kids some new titles to pick from and it keeps the library fresh. Some students chose from the new books too and checked them out before I left so hey- it worked! I want to do the same for the non-fiction section on Tuesday. Plus thinking of a way to do a non-fiction display in the front were the Good Books with Ugly Covers display is. I need to hit Pinterest.

After moving the graphic novels to their new space Ms. Schwoerer needed some signage so I used some of the deselected books and made some signs by wrapping these books and making them the signs. I haven't done that in awhile and it was fun.

Also the projects about Japan are taking over the library and really making the space super colorful and the kids really seem to like the artwork. Ms. Schwoerer pulled some books about Japan and before I could even get them up hands were grabbing to check them out. She is thinking of maybe doing a few curated spaces that cover specific countries, hobbies or genres and swapping them out because the kids really seem to like the ease of it. Plus it can be a really great way to support their popular in classroom projects and key into their interests in a new way.

We moved another bookshelf specifically for the new books to go and I will get a shot of how that turns out on Tuesday. Other than that the usual circulation duties and I had a chance to talk to some of the kids and helped them find some titles. It was good to see more checkouts today.
