North San Juan Library Media Center’s Mission
• To provide students and faculty with a well organized, easily accessible collection of sources allowing them to become independent information seekers
• To aid students, parents, faculty and community stakeholders in becoming aware of the important role that literature and the development of good reading habits play in becoming life long learners.
Goals• To provide a current collection of
resources for both students and faculty that will coincide with the STAAR, TEKS and district initiatives.
Goals• Provide and teach literature
appreciation and instill a desire to read as a life long activity.
Goals• To provide access to a variety of
formats of information such as databases, books, playaways, DVDs, video, or computer programs which allow students to understand, enjoy and creative works.
Goals• Actively involve students in the
effective use of a wide range of print, non-print and electronic resources.
Goals• Establish and provide consultative
services to teachers, students and parents.
Goals• Cooperatively plan lessons with
the classroom teacher that would ensure more meaningful learning while supporting classroom instruction.
Schedule- What works• 30 minute class
sessions• Scheduled shelving
time daily of at least 45 minute increments
• Pre-K aides stay during library classes
• Allowing for classes to start the 2nd week of school (this will give me time to input all student data and set up classes)
Schedule- What works• Friday- library closed
for classes (students come in as needed throughout the day.)
• This allows me to attend Librarian’s Meetings which are held approximately one Friday per month.
• As well as hold library AR incentives at the end of each six weeks without having to cancel my library classes.
• Fridays will also be used for processing books, running reports, maintaining the library webpage, planning, etc.
• PR- taking photos, submitting information requests, maintaining school webpage.
Schedule- What didn’t work
• Non consecutive shelving time. (Last year I had 15 minutes here and there and 30 minutes other days.)
• Rotation (Being a part of the rotation)- at the start of the year I had to start the first week of school even though I was not finished inputting AR/ Destiny student information.
Schedule- What doesn’t work
• Rotation- Also during inventory (the last two weeks of school) my classes had to be covered by different paraprofessionals since library was part of the rotation.
Proposed SchedulePlease consider the following
proposed schedule for the 2011-2012 school year.
Any grade level times can be swapped, they are just an example.
