September was a ‘kick-off’ month. I began planning this year’s big events. These include Book On Every Pillow and the School Wide Book Festival. Smaller projects include, creating a college resource packet, training staff on utilizing the library on their own, teaching writing skills, teaching storytelling and finding funding for the library.

Coordinating with staff was also a focus in September. I reached out to staff, offering a variety of resources and services. I provided Ms. G with a collection of animal books to complete classroom research. I provided Ms. G (Speech) with a variety of simple joke books to assist her students with articulation. I connected with Mr. T (Work scholarship) to inform him that the library has a variety of career exploration texts. I also put feelers out for teachers to take advantage of advisory period for short information literacy classes.
