Well, I have inexplicably absent for several months now, but am happy to announce that in early November, I started work as a School Library Media Specialist for a PK-5 school in Dallas. I am so happy to finally be doing what I truly want to do... sharing my love of literature, reading and discovery with children! I have been thrilled to find that the students are excited to visit the library, have a hunger for books and share their excitement with their friends!
There have been challenges. Primarily, my school is sharing space with a host campus, and in order to make the move to a smaller space, the collection was drastically weeded. Due to the excitement and interest of students, I was quickly able to build a 'wish list' and develop a rather large collection to add to what we have. Luckily, the time for making purchases had not been shut off for me (having arrived late in the school year), and I hope to bring a treasure of new items to my school!
Students will soon have much greater access to many of their requested items, such as the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Pinkalicious, etc., Bone and other graphic novels, many new fiction and non-fiction, biographies and reference, as well as DVDs like The Magic School Bus and Bill Nye the Science Guy. Thank goodness for funding to bring treasures to students who are so anxious to discover and share!
That is what this is all about!
