Coloring the Library Beautiful

Sep 2nd — The SAS PD Library began two coloring stations this year. Two tables have been set up with a number of coloring books, pens, and pencils. The rules are — if you start a page, you must finish that page before you begin a new page. We have already had a number of pages completed. Way to go!

A Grand Adventure – Genrefying our Fiction

Sep 2nd — The Grand Adventure has begun. The SAS PD Secondary Library has started at long last to place our over 15,000 fiction books in Genres. So far we have with the help of parent volunteers labeled over 100 books clearing the AAA to ALE books. The job is staggering. But by the end of this school year we hope to have it all done. Check back with us to follow our progress.

We have begun by moving down our AAA Fiction Shelves.  We take each book out and classify it into one of 15 genres (see Genre Page).  Once the book is classified and dotted it is moved to its temporary Genre home (bottom image).
