Editor's Notes
- Poll Title: Let's try some interactive polling. Tell us your name: http://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/xszWY8pHJpLfjBF
- Make Low-Budget, High Impact Improvements Using Six Simple Strategies and Unexpected Sources
- Shelves taller than the studentsOpen back to back: Watch for falling books!No visibility across or front to back
- Improved visibility
- Boring!Long column of computers, no screens or boards
- Hiding places / NO visibilityOvercrowded shelves, dusty old books, can’t see spine labels, little to no circulation
- Open, bright, welcomingVisibility and distinct spaces for learning, reading, studying(actually a “during” pic)
- Very few of the changes, if any, we accomplished aloneHelp, support, and permission
- Invite everyone to participate
- Unsure where to start? Weed and paint. Biggest impact and bang for your buck.
- Student-created layout and design.
- Ideas and materials – even furniture – through networks.Free shelves from listserv.Online fundraising: Donors Choose projects: Class sets, Reading series, Reading Rug
- Don’t be afraid to ask for big ticket items. Once administrators and PTA see your investments in improving the library, they are more willing to help.
- Can now comfortably accommodate two classes.
- Comfortable spacesStudent groups asking to hold meetings and events formerly held in classrooms
