What I do

Library Escape Rooms are really big right now, so I tried to design this program so that any library can try to duplicate it. Because making something like this is kinda daunting–where do yo…

The fun never stops with my current position! I have seen some more amazing things I'd like to share via the blog. These are also posted on my Twitter feed (@yabooksandmore) of great ideas I've seen in libraries I've visited. If there is one thing we need bring into students' lives, it would be that they live in a world with people and events that make a difference for the better. This YA librarian promoted this through her awesome display (which can be used for a bulletin board too!) This savvy elementary librarian went environmental on the library by re-using things teachers didn't need anymore into some amazing genre signs! Beautiful!!! Now, go hit up your teachers for old, unused globes! (And if you have extra, DM me and I'll take them) :) Sometimes you don't need signs to capture attention. Try wallpapering the backs of the shelves for certain genres like this middle school librarian did with her graphic novels. Plus, it cost little to nothing to do it :) POW! Ka-BAM! This elementary librarian decided to do something to showcase books AND gets students involved in the library. Taking those large envelopes (that have a tie or metal closure on the backs), she got her students to decorate them for the holidays. They couldn't open it until they checked them out. Use it for any holiday and promote student library collaboration :) This junior high librarian created and used series lists of books and their order to create shelf markers under the series to help students track and find them easier. She and her library assistant did these on their own but you don't have to if you have a Follett Titlewave account. It contains a series tracker/finder, including have them in numerical order as well as when the newest one will be released. You've got to try it out :) Enjoy these and be inspired, share, and incorporate them!

My husband says that librarians are some of the most radical people he’s ever met. There is truth in that. Libraries provide free access to knowledge and intellectual development to all membe…
