December was a cleanup month. I spend much time going through our existing collection re-organizing in an effort to make materials more accessible.  I focused on the audio & visual collection. In addition to organizing, I secured headphones and batteries necessary to make these materials fully accessible to students.  I also secured a key to be located in the central office. This will make it easier for staff to utilize these materials during my off hours. I also updated and redistributed both our Bibliotherapy and classroom set lists.

I met with an author, Kim Gore to discuss future partnerships. She is a published author and wonderful presenter. I connected her with a director from the residential side and also promoted her availability to a few teachers.

This month I also focused on increasing staff utilization of the library and library materials. I re-organized the audio and visual collection to be more accessible. I also re-inventoried the classroom sets and promoted them to teachers with quick reviews. Finally, I updated the Bibliotherapy resource list. This list contains titles that speak to a variety of mental health issues and trauma. This list has been shared across the agency..
