New Shelving!
The big news in the media center for the month of December was the arrival of our new shelving! With the help of some great parent volunteers we were able to move most of the books in one day. We continue to shuffle books now that we have a little bit more room to work with!
More Excting News!
The media center received a make over during the winter break. A fresh set pf paint sure does make a difference!
By the Numbers...
December was another busy month--and we had fewer days in school, making it extra crazy! The media center circulated 1,251 items with fiction our biggest seller as usual. Fiction books made up 83% of our circulations in December, followed by nonfiction at 14% and textbooks, ebooks, and temporary titles borrowed from other buildings making up the last 3%. A special thank you to the parents, substitutes and students that helped shelve all of these items for us this month!
The media center space and lab were used every one of the 15 days it was open. Notable events that took place in the media center this month: Digital Citizenship presentations were delivered to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students, 6th grade brought in a speaker for social studies classes, and 7th grade held their annual spelling bee.
