⭐️⭐️They’re baaaa-ack!⭐️⭐️
I’m at a new school with a fresh crop of FAQs popping up, so I decided to create a new series of videos to help teach library procedures (and deliver school-wide announcements too).

Nonfiction weeding completed! 🎉
Let me introduce you to my island of misfit toys, aka "books I can’t allow to remain shelves where they are and still sleep at night".Yes, there is a three-tiered, two-sided cart full.
Time to recatalog! And maybe start a massive project...a 🧵
Last, but not least among the states - all our national park books! When one of our students asks for a national park book, they typically want to see them all at once. They'll get their own special section.
It’s library book return day! All classes have scheduled a time to come to the library and receive prizes.
Grades 2-5 receive poster raffle slips. After filling them out, Ss place their slip in the envelope matching their poster number. On Monday I’ll draw for winners.
In my 2025 weeding adventure I’ve hit the train wreck that is our 900 section. 😂
First question: Does our elementary school really need 10 books on Antarctica? (Yes, I found one more after this pic) Circ stats say no.
Solution: Moved one to ER Nonfiction and weeded 3.
I did not expect to heavily weed both the Everybody and Nonfiction sections this year, but….here we are. 😂
Still chugging along!
I’m pushing myself to weed our nonfiction section before the end of the school year.
I’d like to thank all the librarians before me who recommended not starting at the 000’s (only to burn out in the 398.2s). I started at 599 working backwards and it has been GREAT so far!
