The Long and Winding Road

We've almost made it. Our journey is nearing the end. But we still have a long way to go. So let's get started with what is new and exciting in the library.

On the exciting end of the spectrum, we just gave away all kinds of cool prizes to our Truman Nominee readers. Students got a raffle ticket for each Truman nominee that they read and reviewed. We had several author signed books, a big pile of YA fiction, and a tablet. Everyone that "played" won. I think we had some happy customers! Now it's time to get the new Trumans out on display. Yay!!

As for something new, we are trying an online library sign-in. Statistics aren't necessarily associated with the library but come in handy when sharing with others what actually is happening in this wonderful space. Our Google Form sign-in sheet will help us do just that; keep track of the who, how, and how often we are helping here in the library. It only takes a few seconds and so far our students are taking to this added feature like ducks to water. Our students are the best!

Speaking of having the best students, we are on the verge of MAP testing and I know they are going to do great. So this next little bit is for those awesome JH students. Just to make sure you are ready to exercise your brain, make sure you: Get enough sleep, eat breakfast, and wake up your mind with some morning activity. You have worked hard all year. Now is your opportunity to show what you have learned. We are Missourians, so go SHOW-ME what you know and I will see you in the stacks.
