And now the Juniors

Got done with all the Junior transfers from Trac-it to Destiny today, so I should be done by the end of the week. Processed in three magazines for us and one for a teacher. Did the usual checking in and out. Still have kids from Ms. A's class picking up their novel sets for their reading groups. Read Across America is officially next week, but I'm ready to get reading now!

52 Seniors

That's what I billed today for books from our old Trac-it textbook program. We got a notice on getting that taken care of, so I got going and billed all of them with notes that these were all from the old program. I gave a copy to our bookkeeper so she can check and see if they all transfer over when she does her EOP. They owe for over $3,000 worth of books. Checked out reading groups of six different titles for Ms. A's two classes today and did various and other normal stuffs.

No Mrs. H! No Mrs. M!

Both of them were out today, Mrs. M is still battling that nasty flu going around and Mrs. H's son was sick, so Mrs. H called me in a bit early. She had come in to get things going, and left after her substitute came in. We had wonderful subs though! Mr. L is fabulous (for Mrs. H) and Mrs. T (for Mrs. M) are tried and true substitutes that helped keep the library on an even keel for the day. I was grateful that they were the ones that were here! No food in the library today! So lunch was easy. Finished off the Foundations for Algebra Year 1 Vol 1 and Year 1 Vol 2 today. Since I was the only one that could put money on accounts, I took in about $10 worth today. Checked in and out here and there, worked with the office on a student who owed fines for textbooks. We worked out a test project on him between me and Mrs. S, our bookkeeper. I love the way that the registrar now checks with us on when a student is withdrawing, so easy to check and know right away and bill. What a fabulous team we are!

Ketchup

A kid spilled his plate on the new carpet in the library and just left a whole ketchup imprint along with tator tots and ground one into the carpet. Mrs. H said No More Food in the Library! After that and several kids that were disrepectful to her about the food all over. Had to check kids for fines and fees today. Finished up renumbering the Analysis V2 books. Had our classified meeting today that I went to. Checked in two class sets of Foundations for Algebra books. Had a kid climb through my window while I was sitting right there! I said, "Ah, no!" and almost had to push him back out. He came back and apologized after going into the library the proper way :) Swept out under my computer lab collecting a cup and various eating wrappers kids had shoved under there. Started to work on renumbering the Foundations for Algebra Year 1 Vol 1 books. Emailed with one of our techs on the students having problems finding our R drive to turn in work.

Downton Sprague

Checked out two class sets of The Adoration of Jenna Fox today. Processed in one magazine (People). Renumbered half of the Analysis V2 books and all of the Stage and School books. I also wrote up a notice for Ms. L on the kids that still had Stage and School books out from first semester. Worked with Mr. C on trying to get a report that I could run that would pull up a specific title and the kids associated with it. He tried to send one that I could edit, but I couldn't edit it, but it did have just one specific title on it. He also worked on my teacher check out list from Trac-it, so I went over that and let him know which teachers went where and with what so they can make sure those teachers still have their books charged to them. Checked out various other books today and checked in books. Talked with our bookkeeper about that Destiny should be talking with our billing system so she's going to watch for that. Worked on the new bulletin board I'll start this week and had the aides work on the board outside our workroom door.

Today

Finished off the renumbering of the Analysis Vol. 1 books today and decided to work on the Stage and School books. Checked out a class set of Fit and Well books to a teacher. Some Adoration of Jenna Fox to students. Got in some AP Chemistry resources for  a teacher and took those down to him. Had students who were transferring out getting their textbooks and library books cleared. Had a student bring in a textbook from last year that was from her old boyfriend (he will be glad that's off his bill I'm sure!). Processed in one teacher magazine and three for the library. Just lots of one student coming in here and getthing one book, another one in five minutes later needing a different book. Another returning one, and getting another. Helped a teacher today set up her computer for split screen viewing and resetting the resolution so the screen wouldn't blink. A good day.

Thursday

More of the same from yesterday, seems like I couldn't hardly sit down without someone or something claiming me for a need! Good days, all around.

Signing

We had an athletic signing to commit to a college here in the library this afternoon. It was for us a last minute thing, but I think it went really well. The kids are mainly going to Oregon sites, but one is going to Montana. Nice to see that the school played it up and maybe gave some other athletes a reason to work just a bit harder on their sport, grades and personal integrity. Today was busy, more checkouts, bringing books up from the back, taking more back, in between working on my renumbering. Answering emails and sending emails on getting books from other schools. Working with students and teachers on various things. As you can see I'm doing this on Friday so the details escape me!

Available

With the snafu over our The Sixties books, today I ran a few pages of reports from Trac-it that had all the books checked out to teachers. Not one of them transferred over to Destiny, they aren't checked out, or lost - they are available! Oh no! I checked through a few random lists and checked the shelves as well and that might be a big mess. We'll see what Mr. C says when he gets my email in the morning. Tried to get some books for teachers, Things They Carried - no luck - both schools are keeping theirs. Evaluation of Orthopedic and Athletic Injuries - nope, the teacher has the set in his room, not back in the textbook window. Checked out a lot of books today, and checked in a lot. A teacher is going to give me her first semester class lists to see who still has out single semester books because we really need them for 2nd semester. Our black and white printer was down yesterday, but a tech person came out and he got it working again. Worked on renumbering the Algebra Connections V2 books and happy I started to do that because kids came in today and checked out the V1 books I was all done with. Huzzah!

New Semester

Busy day for textbooks today! Still some coming in, some going out. Got ready Economics, Developing Child, Working with Young Children, Homeless Bird and some others! Processed in five magazines for us, and we also got two new aides in that were fabulous in putting away textbooks! Put barcodes on two boxes of miscellaneous teacher resources that I had sent out that took awhile. Answered emails on who was coming in when to get what! Almost before I knew it, the day was over!
