It has been 2 years since I started

At my age, two years fly pass faster than when I was in junior high. I started this two years ago to allow me to recommend books to students when I was not in the library. I have discovered that students do look at this more than I thought. When I went to pull titles to book talk to classes, many titles were not on the shelf. Since I was only in the library half-time, I didn't really know what was happening while I was at the elementary school. Maybe it was the bookmarks about this blog, or a classmate telling another about this blog, students did find books to read from the blog. With budget cuts forcing the district to move me to being a full time elementary librarian next year, I hope that this blog will help my students find books without me physically being there. Don't worry readers, the library will be open, just not as much as normal.The library aide will still be there for you. A few new books will be added each month along with the small order I made before I left. I will still be adding a new title a month to this blog. I brought a bag of books home for the summer and adding those to others I haven't had a chance to add, I will have plenty to choose from to add. I hope to be gone only for next school year. Once money can be found, I will be back being your half-time librarian. You will have to start writing comments on the posts to let me know what you think about them.
