Austin, Tyler, Haley and Brady got together and wrote a script for a video to show how to properly use shelf sticks in the library. Austin is the camera man and the others are our talent. We spent several lunch recesses taping it until we got it as good as we could.
Shelf sticks are important because they mark the spot on a shelf where a book belongs.
First we put the stick on the shelf, then we take the book off. We look at the book and decide if it's 'just right' or not. If we decide we want to check out the book we take the stick and move along. If we decide it's not the book we want, we put it back where the shelf stick is holding the spot.
This is how we can keep the library neat! If books get put back into the wrong spot it's very hard to find them again. Imagine if someone moved your house away from its address. How would you know where your house is?
We can do it! The Burpee Home Gardens food truck is coming our way this Spring … and we’re ready to give it a big Irving School welcome. But we’ve all got to vote! If we win, the truck will deliver 1,300 lbs. of fresh produce, plus 50 plants for our school and 450 for our community. The Burpee Home Gardens representatives will also be on hand to share their knowledge so we can grow the plants successfully. Best of all, there’s no cost to our community! Spread the word to your friends, family and neighbors – share the link and get their votes, because every vote counts!
To help bring the tour to Irving School, go to www.facebook.com/BurpeeGardens and vote for us! The voting page will stay open until February 15th, so vote early and vote often!
Irving IMC has circulated more than 11,000 books since we opened in September. That's about 915 books per week. A grand total more than 3,000 books higher than last year! Way to go, Irving Readers!
