This month I finally reinstated the Reading and Storytelling festival. In the past, I had partnered with St. John Fisher in getting volunteers to help run the event. This year we were no able to bring in volunteers, but we were able to find a group of student who were willing to create genre themed displays for the event. I was able to bring in a few local public librarians and members of the organizational community to volunteer for the event. It was a wonderful opportunity for youth to interact with members of the community. Together we created many vivid stories and explored multiple book genres. Youth were able to leave with community connections, a free book and literary inspiration.
I was lucky enough to present details of the library program to the board this month. It was a valuable opportunity to educate the board and administration about the good work of the education department.
Finally, this month I was able to wrap up the 'districtization' of OverDrive. I am so excited to get SORA into the hands of all our teachers and students. It will be a powerful tool moving forward as we get more devices into the hands of our students.
