Book bites for the holidays

Week 7: Creating a community of readers. The workshop I mentioned last week also included staff. Here at TGS we try to develop a community of staff readers by inviting everyone to have morning tea in the library in the last week of term and choose some holiday reading. we pull out all the adult fiction and non fiction (one of the joys of working in a high school library is we can buy adult fiction) and place it on the tables. Staff cruise the tables and displays and shelves, drinking coffee, eating our home baking and sharing thoughts about the books they have read. Some thing we started four years ago has now become a tradition.

I am off for two weeks for a happy holiday.
