Organizing Plastic Book Tubs- Sept. 10

Today was a much slower day than my fist day in the library. This week Summer's classes are in the afternoon, and my internship hours are in the morning. This schedule allows me the best of both worlds. On the off weeks when classes are in the afternoon, Summer can put me to work on various tasks and projects, including shelving books and helping students when they come in to check out materials. Today, for example, Summer had me organizing tubs of books for various classrooms. She has a variety of plastic tubs that contain an assortment of books for all of the students in any given classroom. These tubs are organized by subject, author, theme, etc., and that particular day Summer put me to work organizing and labeling a few of these tubs. The Chalk Box Kid was one of the series of books I was labeling for some of the Accelerated Reader tubs. The other tubs ranged anywhere from weather and astronomy non-fiction titles, to a variety of picture books for the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes. Summer explained how teachers will check out these books for the students in the class, and after seeing the large assortment of tubs on the shelves, it is no wonder the teachers find these groupings so appealing-there is really something for everyone!
