Better Library Sessions

Paula and I attended a seminar for Better Library Sessions from the National Library as we have taken on the Library as one of our responsibilities. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with other teachers about their libraries. Jan gave us lots of great ideas for the library. Some ideas included: *Wacky Wednesdays, turn up to see! e.g lego days, quiz, card making etc *Caught Reading, earn tokens, win books *Open days/parents *Book Snaps: short reviews, picture: quote: comment: recommended by *Librarians: photos, blurbs about themselves, recommended books *Kahoots/scavenger hunts *Book selling: talk to classes about new books arriving in the library *Displays: artwork from classes *Recommended tags in library books Our next actions are to: *convert the small room in the library to a reading corner *work on QR codes: listening post *librarians to work on blurbs about themselves and books they recommend (tags) *displays for the library *visual pictures for the Dewey System on shelves: easier for the children to find books *order some new books
