Moving them to a more prominent place might be just what that BookTok display really needs to get the traction it needs to take off. Think about the flow of traffic and what books, items, or activities you wish got more attention. Is there an outlier table that keeps getting shoved in a corner? Move it to a high traffic area and fill it with a simple display to catch patrons’ attention. Put colored bulletin board paper behind the shelves to delineate different subjects or genres.
Is there something you can paint? Ask an art teacher to collaborate with you on having students paint a mural in the library or on the circulation desk. Have a cozy reading nook? Move some of the seats or rugs around to give it a fresh feel. This way, all the students at the tables can see the board without half of them having to turn all the way around while the other half sit comfortably. Do you have tables parallel to a whiteboard or projector screen? Try turning them perpendicular and see how that feels. Thinking on a smaller physical scale can also spark information. Some of the underutilized shelving units can be moved to the entryway for book displays. Think about what is eye catching to people as they first enter the library. The shelves may seem immovable because they are so heavy, but make sure: even ones lining walls are often not secured down. Turns out the shelves weren’t bolted to the floor and could be moved, disassembled, reassembled, and filled with books again in another area. These shelves aren’t on wheels! They aren’t going anywhere. So often we think about library spaces as static. Sometimes when the blank page is staring back at you, all you need is a little prompt to get the creative ideas flowing.Ĭhanging the physical set up of your library space is a relatively easy way to make a big impact. Here are some ways to kickstart your school year, some ideas to get you started. Where do you even start when there is so much to do? Sometimes the idea of endless possibilities makes all possibilities feel impossible. Or maybe you’re like the writer side of me and the blank page (or empty library) is daunting.

Perhaps the idea of getting back in the school building with looming faculty meetings, training, and professional development are making you less than excited. Many people are burnt out, even after summer break.
There are endless possibilities! Opportunities for change! Hope for the future! There are new students and teachers to meet.Īlright, I get that my enthusiasm might not be the same back to school feeling that other educators are experiencing. The idea of going back to school has always given me butterflies, and one of the joys of working in education is the thrill and promise of a new school year. For me, and many educators, the new year starts in the rest of the world’s Quarter 3, not in January.
#LET ME VIBE LYRICS FULL#
It’s back to school season! Notebooks full of blank pages, the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, new sneakers, empty halls waiting to be filled with students again. Now Leku, whose mysterious and imposing father is head ranger at the conservancy, may be their only lifeline. Inspired by true events, The Elephant Girl is a moving exploration of the bonds between creatures and the power of belonging. When Mbegu’s mother, frightened by poachers, stampedes, Jama and Mbegu are blamed for two deaths-one elephant and one human. There she befriends a baby elephant she names Mbegu, Swahili for seed. Twelve-year-old Jama likes elephants better than people and while her classmates gossip-especially about the new boy, Leku-she takes refuge at the watering hole outside her village.
