Rebecca has a genius idea to keep books from being shoved back on the shelves. Tension Rods!

Amy uses student barcodes for checking out books to her students. Five minutes before students arrive, she places their barcodes in the holder so that students can get their barcode when they are ready to checkout. Each card has the students first name and last initial, barcode and then the teachers initials in the bottom right-hand corner. Makes checking out so much easier! You can print student barcodes in Destiny by going to Reports>Patron Reports>Barcode Labels

After my lesson, I tell the kiddos to line up for any checkouts, renewals or questions. I stand at the desk and take care of their every need. If they are not in the line and try to squeeze in a request, I kindly say line-up to remind them of our system. It's working beautifully and kids in line feel super respected because I completely honor the line!

I have four "shelf elves" (mine are yoga gnomes from Amazon!) that hang around the library and catch kids taking good care of the books and can also catch them reading! I move the elves every week. All of the students love looking for their elf friends!

During check out I have soft, peaceful music playing to keep the calming vibe alive.

Our students now have 3x5 cards with their names printed on them (LARGE PRINT!) and their student barcodes glued on, then laminated.  We keep them in the library and students give them to me with the book they want to check out.  Game changer!

HOORAY! Students will now be having library class IN THE MEDIA CENTER

Each class enters the Media Center with sanitized hands through the SOUTH door (by Eagle’s Nest).

Students will be instructed to find a socially distanced “sit spot” on the floor. Tables and chairs have been removed.

Library lesson/instruction/ read aloud at the beginning of class.

Students will then be dismissed in small groups to allow for social distanced book browsing/checkout time. The remainder of students will stay seated on their “sit spot” until all students have had a chance to browse and checkout.

Students will watch a video on the projector (Storyline Online, etc.) while Ms. Dieker is at her desk checking out books for students.

Students will then stand in a socially distanced line and will be dismissed out the EAST door (by the kitchen and music room).

Students sanitize their hands as they enter their classroom.

Students are browsing in groups to allow physical spacing in the shelves. While they wait before and after their turn, they use sketches school to complete a Think Outside the Box. (See image)

One book I pulled for reading recently (mostly just to make kids a little less scared of coronavirus) is Bob, Not Bob!.

It's a cute story meant to be read as though you have the worst cold ever and you're really stuffed up.  🙂

Kids think it's funny every time the dog Bob comes running when he calls for Mom.

Students in all grades are scanning their own books. They have picked it up easily.

After so much time apart, these kids are desperate to express themselves again. Due to time constraints, we can't have the long winded conversations we all want, so Padlet is a great means of sharing. It gives a space for quieter students to share too. They can post anonymously. It just requires a link, no sign in, and the results populate in real time so displaying it on the projector means everyone can see everyone's responses.

Students are browsing in groups to allow physical spacing in the shelves. While they wait before and after their turn, they use Google Earth to explore. They look up their homes, old schools, highlighted locations, and learn all about the world. I've included it on lessons about satellites, panoramic photography, GPS and geocaching. It's a great tool.

Students can checkout books when they come to the library (similar to the public library).
1. Wash hands or sanitize before coming to the library.
2. Maintain 6 feet apart.
3. Try not to touch more books than you have to.
4. Keep your mask on.
5. Sanitize or wash hands after leaving the library.

Leah is using the Doc Camera for reading aloud to her students. This enables them all to see the pictures and words while maintaining distance from each other.
