Something to consider

Tashi Lives.
I came across this blog by randomly clicking "Next Blog" and thought it looked like an interesting use. Some of you may know a lot more about it than I do.

Moving

The new (it isn't a new room just new to the library) room is ready to start the moving process. We have a few road blocks ahead, specifically the wall shelves. We can move the free standing shelves with volunteer labor but the wall shelves need to be installed by a district work crew. We have no idea when that will happen. So do I remove the books from the shelves and wait?


The current plan is to move everything we can, leave the books on the wall shelves and take books as needed in carts to the other room. Not perfect but at least it will get us functioning in the new room.

What next?

I officially go back to work on Thursday, August 23. In case you haven't noticed that is really soon.


I am trying to figure out how to use this blog to do my job better. I teach information literacy and computer "skills" to first through sixth grade students in a Hayward, CA public school. The library media period is a prep period for the classroom teachers so I have each class for one 50 minute period each week. We will soon physically separate the library from the computer lab so I need to figure out how to manage the time between the two rooms. The move hasn't happened yet so making the change actually happen will be a challenge in itself.


If anyone out there in blog world has some ideas for using this blog, I would really like to hear from you.
