A second grader had reimagined me as a book!!! 😂

Trying out my own version of dynamic shelving with chapter books. They weren’t getting browsed like they should.

Turning series horizontal. Moving more books front facing and highlighted.

Anecdotally, the few prototyped sections have already turned heads and increased circulation!

Enjoy! It’s so good.

I’d love to be added too! Thanks!

Is it like Otrio? 3 layered tic tac toe?

My kid’s Tom Petty costume is better than your kid’s Tom Petty costume.

Gave the book talk. No one checked it out. A week later, I get this note. Apparently, the student came back later to get the book, and LOVED it. I had no idea the book talk had worked!

Sometimes we don’t see our impact, but that doesn’t mean the impact isn’t there.

I was today years old when I learned Picasso was a suspect in the theft of the Mona Lisa.🤯

This FANTASTIC book is like a true crime podcast. Compelling characters, nonlinear narrative, and commentary on our modern world. Loved it.

Thrilled to share it with our 5th grade Mock Newbery committee.

Yep! That’s where my high-volume circulation stuff goes. Raina. Dog Man. Minecraft. Pokemon. Many things don’t even make it over there because the hold lists are so long. It’s kind of a one-stop-shop for the most popular stuff we have.

5th grader’s completed assignment in which the student pointed out the irony that they cannot currently check out a book that is listed in the “I can’t believe it’s not checked out” section.

A fifth grader using her wit to show I need to rethink some of my library naming conventions. 😂
