Power Point is Up!

It took awhile but I've just posted practically the entire Power Point presentation I'll be giving at the Library Summer Camp in August to school library staff of the Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.

Since I'm new to this I've posted the slides in the exact reverse order! So if you want to see the presentation correctly start at the bottom of the pictures and work your way up. Of course, in the actual presentation I elaborate more on each slide but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Nesbit Library Rocks!

My intention for this blog is to write about some of the fun things going on in our elementary school library during the school year. For the past 4 years I've been teaching a workshop on How to Create an Exciting, Interesting, Enticing Library Environment. I'm hoping to post that powerpoint presentation here if I can figure out how. If not I'll just post some pages from it as I prepare for the next class this August.

I've been spending the summer making mini-books for fun. Last May I taught a bookmaking class during Discovery Day. The students made 5 mini-books in 40 minutes including a Nature Journal, a recycled book out of a hot coffee sleeve, a staple-free pamphlet, a Necklace book, and Library Pocket book.
