What a huge project combining the two library media centers and making just one LMC has been. I started the day after school was over for students, and didn't finish until one week before the teachers had to return. Whew! Just made it. Along the way I had a lot of help from my super-duper LMC volunteer Mrs. Peggy Benton. My lovely daughters were reluctantly helpful, but I couldn't have done it without them. And a huge shout out to Jeff Hoffman, First Assembly of God Maintenance Director, and his crew that helped me to get the big stuff moved, everything painted, hung and looking pretty. I still have some small stuff that needs finishing, labels, direction signage, etc. But the place really does look great. Here are some of the changes:
All of the reading area is in the main part of the LMC now.
The circulation desk from the middle school was moved over. This desk is smaller and more appropriate for the elementary students that use the LMC the majority of the time.
All of the chapter books and nonfiction books are in the main section of the LMC.
The storybook corner has been moved to the new reading room, that is for the younger elementary children.
All of the books for our youngest readers are in the reading room, along with the storybook corner. The little ones just love their new space!
