The Genrefication of Our Learning Commons
Forget everything you think you know about how to locate books in the fiction section. We have joined the ever-growing list of schools making the change to a genrefied fiction section. Sounds complicated but it really isn't! This just means that our fiction section is divided by genres: historical, sports, fantasy, humor, romance, adventure, dystopian, mystery, supernatural, family&friends and science fiction. Studies show that readers are able to choose books that they are more likely to enjoy and finish reading when the books are on shelves by genre. This change has also provided me the opportunity to teach some awesome lessons about various genres and what each embodies. Feel free to stop by and browse our genrefied shelves during our Family Fun Night on January 22.
Let it snow - we'll be reading!
There is nothing better than spending a chilly day or evening curled up with a good book! We have been lucky thus far, but the fluffy white stuff is coming! We want our students to have a good supply of awesome books to read so they are now able to check out three books at a time!
Universal Search
When students wish to search our collection, they access Universal Search by going to our school website and choosing the Learning Commons tab. Next, just select Find A Book and explore! Student log-in is the same as computer lab log-in user name and password.
What I Am Reading
I am currently reading All Fall Down by Ally Carter. This is the book that all of my book club members received from me for Christmas and this is the only time all year that we will all be reading the same book. It is an awesome read with mystery, danger and a bit of romance! I am excited to hear what the book club girls thought about this book!
