Awesome Helpers
Junior Librarians help students realize that the library is not just a place to find books and information. It’s also a fun place to go “where they can grow their minds in more ways than just looking at books and data bases.” They say this because they have learned that the library is there for them in many different ways – and not just for academic reasons.
Junior Librarians respond to library needs by organizing PlayAway audio books, shelving and arranging books, displaying bulletin boards, dusting to keep the library neat, completing Pizza Hut accounts and records, writing student’s book requests, recording Accelerated Reader scores, and lending a hand to teachers and staff. Their busiest time of the year is during Catholic School’s Week when they transform the library into a Book Fair extravaganza.
They usually can find Mr. Dewey D. worm sitting with his nose in a book. However, they don’t mind because he’s their favorite library companion.Mini Librarians will make you smile.
I cannot help grinning when I talk about the many aspects that draw patrons to our St. Thomas More School Library in Houston, Texas.
One focus is our Mini (2nd & 3rd graders) Librarians who will make you smile.
These boys and girls realize that reading is one of the most important activities necessary to learn and grow and succeed.
Throughout the school year these students participate in the extracurricular activity of “their” library’s upkeep and the fostering of a love of books and reading.
