Download - Park Hill Branch Stuffed Animal Sleepover
Stuffed Animal
Training Camp
at the
Park Hill Branch Library
July 2012
Denver , Colorado
On Thursday, July 19, 2012, Miss Dawn invited our
stuffed animals to come to storytime. We had great fun
and our stuffed animals did too!
Then the children left and the stuffed animals stayed the
day and the night to learn more about how the library works.
We broke up into groups. Some of us helped the
librarians at the reference desk find books and
movies for the customers.
We helped these girls
find a good book!
Zebra helped find
the books about
zebras.
Monkey found some
good books about
monkeys!
Rabbit answered questions for people
who called on the telephone.
We gave kids their prizes for the
Summer of Reading program.
Brown Bear helped this customer
learn to use the computer.
Another group of stuffed animals helped the circulation
clerks. We signed up people for new library cards.
We learned that our children can have a library card,
but not stuffed animals.
We returned books from the inside book drop.
And helped customers learn to use the self check out
machines.
We put books and DVD’s people had requested
from other branches on the hold shelf. There sure
are a lot of holds!
After all the hard work getting
these books on the hold
shelves; we now
understand why we should
not pull the white pieces of
paper out of the books!
The book return bin was full so we took it to the
basement. Riding in the bin down the elevator is fun!
We helped Monica check in all types of library items:
books, DVD’s, CD’s, magazines, and comic books.
These black pads use radio frequencies to check in the
books - it seems like magic!
If we stay in these crates we will get taken to other
branches during the night...
But Park Hill Branch
Library is the best, so
let’s go help put
everything away in the
right spot so everyone
can find them easily.
The library has lots of fun things to do…
we played with the wall magnet games.
We used the computers to play games.
We played with the balls and bells
after the Book Babies storytime.
Then we helped
put the toys and
books away.
We looked at picture books.
Now it’s almost time for bed. We picked out a book
for Miss Dawn to read for our bedtime story.
We made a sign reminding the night delivery
workers, who take items from this library to others, to
please be quiet and not wake us up.
We set our alarm clock to wake us up before the librarystaff gets here in the morning….
…and snuggled down to sleep.
The staff arrives at 9:00 a.m. There is a lot of work to
do before the library opens in just one hour.
These crates have all the books from other
libraries that people want to pick up at Park
Hill Branch Library. Soon they will go on the
hold shelves.
More library items have
been dropped off in the
book drop during the night.
Now we know how to return
them and get them back on
the shelf quickly so they can
be checked out again.
Every morning our staff find the items that will go to
other branches because someone wants them.
There are 156 items that will go out in
tonight’s delivery if we find everything on the list!
We help turn on the computers.
It is 10 a.m. - time to open the library!
Welcome everyone!
We’ve had lots of fun - but we missed our
children! We hope you enjoyed seeing what
we did during our library training camp.
Special thanks to our teen volunteers Amanda, Molly and Emily for helping with our Stuffed Animal Library Training Camp.
