Since we are celebrating Spirit Week and preparing for the big rivalry game tomorrow night, we decided to offer a special incentive in the book fair on Thursday and Friday. When you make a book purchase, you get a free school spirit airbrush tattoo. Morgan and John Michael took us up on our offer first thing this morning! GO TIGERS…BEAT LIBERTY!
What is more exciting than getting your annual book fair delivered and set up? How about receiving 18 boxes of NEW FICTION titles delivered on the same day! While we had a blast seeing all of the new arrivals and fun stuff in our book fair, we have been up to our eyeballs in processing the almost 600 books while trying to prepare for Wednesday’s opening day sales in our fair.
On another note, we kicked off Spirit Week this week with a Crazy Hair Day. This was the perfect way to start off one of our craziest days yet in the media center. We are on the way to having our busiest August ever – both in circulation and student visits. A busy media center is a happy media center!
Wow…we have tried to sit down and post a welcome back blog, but it has been a busy, busy, busy first two weeks for us in the media center. Although we have been extremely busy, we have really enjoyed our first 10 days back in school. We are currently in the process of conducting orientation sessions with our freshmen class (over 500 students!) and getting prepared to host our back to school book fair. After meeting with about half of our 9th grade students last week, we think the class of 2017 has the most readers of any class we have worked with in the past few years! In five days, we circulated almost 1600 items. We also had our busiest Mobile Media day ever last Friday!
We hope we stay this busy all year long!
