Tuesday began with lots of snow. I have been concerned about stepping on toes with some of the projects I am planninfor February winter break. The library has always provided activities for students while they are on break from school. With a new director who is a childrens librarian and a senior clerk who has previously taken care of these activities, I needed to clarify who I need to discuss ideas and issues with. I will discuss program issues with the director and any maintenance or advertising issues with the senior clerk. They are both very willing to share examples and ideas from events they have provided before. I need to remember to ask questions and look at examples to ensure I cover all bases. Lisa usually completes all advertising but I am creating the poster and bookmarks for the February break this week so we can get them to the school to distribute early. Lisa will provide suggestions and changes necessary.
Lee provided me with an opportunity today to actually create a conference presentation which is one of our assignments. In March, we will attend an all day conference for Summer Reading Programing. Volunteers are asked to create a "Sprinkle" which is a mini program idea that can be used in any library at little or no cost. Our theme for the summer reading program is One world Many Stories for elementary students and You are Here for the teens. The Sprinkle idea should be a three minute presentation. I am hopefully developing an idea for each group and will choose the best one to present. My idea for You are Here is to create a pathfinder which identifies all of the wonderful places to visit in the county. We can identify each attraction and any resources we have to learn more about it. We could have the children/ teens create pictures to illustrate each attraction. I'm excited to be able to use this for the assignment and actually present it, but I'm a little anxious also.
Wednesday school was closed so we had a snow day!
