Ready or not...
Today is the last day before the return of the students. I spent a couple of hours assisting teachers with the new copier. It is networked with the use of passwords and queuing which is very different than the machines our staff is accustomed to using. Since there were faculty meetings for most of the morning, I set up two presentation carts with the LCD projectors and laptops. I also cataloged a stack of new books that were left from the beginning of the summer. I worked up the beginning of the year order for periodicals and requested a quote from the new vendor. I also met with the principal to address scheduling challenges in the Media Center computer lab. One of the biggest challenges in working in the Media Center is staying on task. It is easy to become sidetracked with the many requests for assistance. However, the variety keeps you interested and on your toes. I am really looking forward to seeing the students tomorrow. I hope they are just as glad to see me.

Getting the Media Center Ready
Today I started in the media center at Sol C. Johnson High School in Savannah, GA at 7:30 am. I opened the media center and took the opportunity of a day without students to move a bookshelf that I had previously cleared near the periodicals. With the new arrangement I was able to add some soft seating and a spinner display rack to create a reading nook near the entrance. An added feature of this seating area is that it is just inside the glass entrance and gives an inviting first look into the media center. I will be stocking the area with paperbacks, periodicals, newspapers and "Play-Away" audio books.
I was called upon to set up the LCD projector in the auditorium for the principal and get her started with the beginning of the year faculty meeting Powerpoint presentation.
In the afternoon I worked on the large bulletin board outside the media center to highlight the upcoming "Banned Book Week" at the end of September. Open House is tomorrow night at 6:00 pm. I left at 4:30 pm
Total Hours: 9 hours
