Just a quick one to show another one of my organization stations, my command central if you will. I got the vertical file holder last year from Amazon.

Earlier in the year, I saw another librarian post on Instagram that they were having their students create reading goals for the year.

It’s time to say goodbye to our turkey and hello to my clerk’s winter-themed bulletin board! I love how she made it 3-dimensional.

After some looking around for ideas and sharing back and forth, we landed on the idea of doing an Junior Archeology “Camp” for one of the… Continue reading Off We Go to Archeology Camp!
