Hi y’all, 

Holiday greeting from Houston to all my former CT colleagues!

An elementary idea for visual booklists is this…

I made posters also in Canva and then print for parent handouts but also print on a poster maker. The posters are placed on the ends of bookcases and in our large windows.  I’ve taught call number for years to k-1 students but nothing has worked better than these posters.  The kids have a real need to understand and use the call number when they want to find the specific books. It’s super fun to see parents and kids looking at the posters from outside since I double side the posters so you can read them from inside or outside.  Our windows are along a well walked sidewalk.

I can share any of the actual pdf’s or template I’d anyone wants it.

Happy holidays,

Jane

My pleasure! My turn to give back some of the library joy. 

We can't get enough of it! It has saved so much time. I just got this Notebook style display rack for the high school and it's so much easier creating the pages for it. We can't wait to get it out into the library. The regular notebook we use at the middle school gets a lot of use. We're updating the pages now using these templates.

We just started using these Canva templates from Melissa Corey, a librarian in Missouri, and they look gorgeous! If you use any NF titles, I suggest including the spine label info. On the books that the author was not visible, we included it there too, much easier to find the books on the shelf.
