Today concluded what has been a very successful fall book fair this year. Upon entering the library this morning, just a few stray buyers were making their final rounds of the book fair, hoping to purchase one last item before the next fair in the spring. Once all students and teachers were done shopping, we began the tedious process of packing everything up to be picked up in the morning. We didn't waste any time, and each of us began tackling an area of the library. This part of the process was much easier than the set-up, and I think we had everything back in boxes in about an hour. Once the boxes were packed up, we disassembled the cashier stations, as well as the pencil/eraser/bookmark stations. In the meantime, Jeannie and Summer began closing the Scholastic shelves back up and locking those together, while I cleared all of the tables of any stray items yet to be packed away. Finally, we moved all tables and chairs back to their original locations, setting all the book fair materials near the back exit of the library. Working together as a team, we had the library back open for business in about two hours. I think it will be nice to be back on the original library schedule, and I can guarantee Summer and Jeannie feel exactly the same way! It has definitely been a long week!
