We made it!

We now have the first week of school under our belt! Except for a few minor problems, I think we are on our way!

Both LMCs are buzzing like bees! Besides the usual material check ins and outs, we have two major tasks going on.

Shirley has been busy returning the new-sized 7-12 LMC to order. With a smaller space there is less room for the collection. A major weeding project is under way. Discarded books will first be offered to teachers/staff then to students. This project will make room for the new books ordered for the 2010-2011 school year.

Diana is checking non-Reading Counts books for RC status at Jacobson LMC. Weeding will take place here too. Discarded books will first be offered to teachers/staff and the remaining books will be used in the Literacy Project at ROJ. Also new books appear on the shelves weekly.

Homeroom teachers at Jacobson have set up the days for their class's weekly book checkout time. See schedule below. Just a reminder - students will not be able to check out another book/magazine until checked out or overdue materials are returned. Please remind your child to have their library material ready for return on the scheduled day!

CLASS CHECKOUT DAYS
MONDAY: 6-Dickman, 1-Wagner, 5-Meyer, & 5-Haugen
TUESDAY: 1-Tanner, K-Markwardt, 4-Mallen, & K-Tenold

PK students have a checkout time of 1 week, while K-12 have a 2 week checkout due time. As always, books may be renewed unless the title is on hold for someone else. The Jacobson LMC is also open from 7:45-8:15am and 3:10-3:30pm on school days for your student to browse or checkin/checkout materials.

We have a collection of Spanish and bilingual books available for checkout if you are interested in Jacobson LMC.

I will be in the B-K school district on Wednesday, September 1st, if you have any questions or suggestions.
