Sunrise Clouds

Library volunteers meeting. Our new Librarian Trevor is making changes so the meetings are important to keep up w/ how things work now. New books and movies are shelved in a different location but have a 'NEW' sticker on them so we need to remember to look for that and shelf them properly. After six months, we can take off that sticker and they go in w/ the other books. The children's books in Spanish have moved over by the Children's Holiday Books.  The spine label for these books was 'ESP' which I'd thought stood for 'Espanol'.  It's now 'E Spanish' designating 'Easy Reader Spanish' It will be clearer when we add books for juveniles 'J Spanish' and young adults 'YA Spanish'.  We just got a gift of art work which can be checked out. Trevor's not yet sure how the process will work. He said the pictures are of deer, eagles, trees, etc. It's the kind of art that is popular here. At least one display cabinet in January will be books/movies that were Oscar winners.   That sounds like a fun display and one we can put in and take out easily. He's also introduced Book Bingo Cards.   Each box has a different reading-related requirement: Read w/ a family member or friend; Read a book about food; Read the first book of a series; Read a book that starts with "G"; Read a book set in a warm place; etc. If you get a bingo on the card you can turn in the card and at the end of the month there is a drawing for a prize. The rules and a place for your list of at least five books read that month is on the back. It's for all ages and I can see kids easily making it through that many picture books or graphic novels in a month. We volunteers said it would be pushing it for any of us to read five books in a month. "No!" exclaimed Trevor and brought out his phone. He has graphed not only the number of books he's read monthly (easily over five)  down to how many pages per day. Graphing the number of pages you read daily?   And people make fun of me for graphing which Christmas cards I sent/received.
