The library really is the go to place for all your needs. I just had a student ask me for a flathead screw driver to loosen something on his 3 hole punch. And I had one to loan!
Overheard in the library while checking out a class set of Persepolis, 1 student to another: "Oh! I thought the book you were all getting was called Syphilis!" Oh my. These kids. 😆
Yesterday one of the gr. 12 boys came in & I realized that I hadn't seen him yet this week and asked, "Where have you been?" He told me without missing a beat, "Narnia." Love these kids!
Why do students seem so nonplused when I tell them that "No. They library does not have any iPhone chargers. And, no, I don't have one they can borrow either."? Sheesh!
@lucasjmaxwell Congratulations. You led a PD session I attended back when you worked at the Tantallon branch of HPL and both it and you were most impressive. This award is well deserved!
Yesterday I discovered that my advice actually helped a student. He had to read a novel & doesn't really enjoy reading. I had suggested that he borrow a copy of the audiobook and read along with it. He told me doing that made him feel like he was actually in the story! Success!
