Summer in the PHS Library
The books are piling up! Kids (and parents) are returning their books and I'm busy checking them back in, sending reminders for late books, and re-shelving. (Special thanks to Sherry Kassenbrock for her considerable help with the re-shelving all this year.)
This summer the plan is to finish the data entry of all of our books and videos. My by estimates I'm about three-quarters of the way through and we're nearly at 5000 books catalogued right now! If you're interested in learning how to do the data entry and have a few hours to volutneer this summer, please e-mail me and I'd be happy to show you what to do; it's not difficult, just a little time-consuming.
I will also be ordering and cataloguing new books and other materials and working on some library lessons and policies for 2005-2006. And of course, I'll be working on this weblog - trying to make it helpful and informative for our PHS communit, kids and adults.
Remember, this Saturday, June 11th is the official kick-off of the Summer Reading Club at the San Francisco Public Library. The children's librarian from the Presidio Branch came and spoke to all of our kids about the program. It is a great way to motivate young readers, promote the public libraries, and earn fun "dragon-themed" prizes. Stop by your branch early in the summer to sign up.
