Throwback Thursday #14: It's Fine Time!!

I really dread this time of year in the school library. Since the April 28th start of ASK testing, the book return has been posted outside the library in the hallway. I should have had all the books returned, right? Ha! Time to track down all these students, by going to their classrooms. (I already sent numerous messages to their homerooms.) Time to laugh it off.......

Throwback Thursday #13: The SHHH

Libraries are known as very quiet places to read and work. Today, with makerspaces and computers, a lot of schools have adopted quiet areas and talk areas. Since my school added three classrooms (and teachers teach in the main room as well) our library is noisy, but not in a good way. Teachers in our small new classrooms can usually hear what is going on in the other two classrooms because the dividers do not go up to the ceiling. Plans are in the works to reorganize the district to ease the population in the junior-senior high school.  More to follow.

Throwback Thursday #9

I just love digging up old library photos, videos and posters. So much has changed over the decades in library science. Today's throwback has a classroom photo with the exact desks I had in elementary school at P.S. 98 in Manhattan. (Oops. Just gave away my age...)

Ok. I know I am late again. I could list excuse after excuse, but none would be acceptable. So here's TBT on Friday.

Throwback Thursday #4: One Day Late

Apologies  for being one day late for library throwback Thursday; I was home sick and never logged onto my computer. Today's double feature is a 2-part video which takes place in the 1950's and tells the story of a family and their love for the library. Enjoy and share!
