Adovocating

My librarian , Mrs. Robinson decided to retire this past school year.  I am sure gonna miss her! We worked really well together, and she taught me a lot. We certainly advocated for our library in many ways. We found that some worked, and other did not. It was a trial and error process, but we found some great ways to get more than just classes coming in!Advocating for your library is important, because in this media-filled environment, it can be hard to get kids and adults motivated to read beyond the computer.   We used incentive programs such as free book drawings to help get kids to return overdue books, and to check out new ones. Mrs. Robinson ran a book-club program, and they had a few parties and activities throughout the year that corresponded with the book they were reading. It was really a lot of fun. Even though Mrs. R will be gone this year, I know I will continue her love of reading and books in Anne Frank by continuing her practices.
