Our Last Full Week Of Library Media

This week in Library Media we have had a lot of reason to celebrate. We are celebrating that the books are continuing to come in! Once again we are seeing that students are being responsible and respectful at Harritt. This is the best year we have had in students getting their books returned and those who have had a lost book being paid for in a quick manner.

Many classes celebrated the fact that they did get all their books turned in on time with a free class period in the Computer Lab… that was our goal. Once each class got their Library books turned in they were rewarded with free computer time. We had all but 4 books come in so far, and maybe they will come back by the last day of school. Last week we had 78 books out for a total of about 780.00 worth of books lost! What a wonderful leap to get those books turned in for that reward of free computer time.

The other activity of this week has been viewing the Scholastic Book Fair video to give us an idea of some titles or authors to see at our June 8th Book Fair. This is always a great activity for getting students excited about books. I so value these Book Fair tapes and have saved them to show at other occasions to introduce students to authors and book titles even when we are not having a Book Fair.
