I've been working on new signs for my library.
The ideas are not earth shattering, but here they are:
Here's my Call Number...
...so find me maybe
I am working on making a stronger connection between Destiny, our online catalogue, and the books on the shelf. I model using Destiny and teach a number of lessons each year, but there are still the students who come to me asking for help to find a book...
...sometimes without the call number. :)

Keeping Current...
...of the events
Instead of taking down the books on top of the bookcase and putting up thematic books, I've decided to create a basket for them. This way I don't lose my limited display space and can also turn attention to the thematic books. This is just the start, but I am thinking I can make reusable signs for holidays and other events.
I took this picture yesterday after school. After my four kindergarten classes this morning almost all the books were gone. I hadn't even mentioned or drawn attention to the basket. Interesting...
I am sure it has not escaped your notice that I have no wall space in my library. I don't want to cover up all the windows, so will probably have to cycle through signage as the year goes along.
Call Number Maybe is totally adorable! I have to admit that signage is DEFINITELY my weakness. I need to sit down and crank out some signs and tape them up! For some reason I think they have to be these fabulously fancy and extraordinary signs on the shelves so guess what...no signs. Thanks for inspiring me with some very cute ideas.
