A new school year always brings new challenges, and this year is no exception. Due to budget cuts, we have moved from a 5 day cycle to a 6 day cycle. We have also implemented a new reading series. So, I have offered teachers the opportunity to schedule two LMC visits during each 6 day cycle: one will be used to support reading and the other will be used for skills instruction. I hope to see more learning and provide more reading opportunities through this schedule change.
Another potential change will be the addition of eBooks to the library collection. We have added numerous audiobooks the last couple of years, and these have been very popular. Now, I would like to add electronic books that will work with our interactive whiteboards so teachers can use them to enhance instruction. Students will also be able to access them via the computer. We have also added a number of iPads, and it will be interesting to see how these can be used in the LMC setting.
There's always some new challenge or opportunity in the library world. That's just one of the reasons I think the LMC is the place to be!
