2014 November Theme: Family

Accomplishments

  • Screened and labeled about 200 books students

November consisted of processing lots and lots of donations. We got about 18 boxes of books from several sources (The majority of the books came from an unknown source.) I processed the books by screening their content using Commonsense Media and goodreads.com reviews. Typically I don’t like to censor books, but in the interest of the treatment of our students, I removed any books that had graphic description of sexual or physical abuse or the glorification of violence. From the remaining books, I divided them into three sections: 1.) To be added to the library; 2.) To be distributed to elsewhere on campus; 3.) To be used as give-a-ways.
