Description of my library

   My library is an old (100+ years) building so it is not an up to date place. We do want we can to make it inviting and inviting but we really do not have much to work with.   But I love my job – our staff is wonderful, and the kids are great to work with!

   We have a bank of 6 computers that can be used my students and staff. Our Refere4nce collection is old and not really used all that much.   The collection is OLD- but I am trying to bring g up the age of the books. My budget is not really able to keep up. I try to order a lot of books from Junior Library guild, especially the sales because that really increases the age of our collection. I also order from Perma bound because they have free replacement of books damaged by use.
  
  We do have nice but old wooden tables and chairs that have held up really well. Our circulation desk is just – a teacher desk with a milk crate for a book drop!

  We do have a smart board for my presentations and the presentations of any staff developers that come in for professional learning.

Snow Day!! Good day to organize at home! What really needs to be organized?Your book shelf? Take out the books and dust the shelves. How should you place them back? It's totally up to you. Many home libraries are organized by types of books- fiction can be organized by genres or by author. Non-fiction can be done by subject areas- like putting all your cookbooks together or by the type of cooking- baking, stir frying, roasting, . Basically, its what you want- but make it easy on your self so you can find a book quickly! In the library, we always try to organize so the item can be found.
