But we did some
thinking and
decided ...

These four sat still for
ten whole minutes!

But it helps to have
food.
Did I mention the
food?

Because Marianne
wants you to read
these great books.

And we want you to ﬁnd what youʼre
looking for in the catalog.

And print a high-quality
business proposal.

Or produce an event ... From your chair.

And
sometimes you
just need to
cool off in our
geothermal air
conditioning.

Did I mention weʼre
in a green building?

Thank-you.

En Finlandia, las dos bibliotecas públicas y de investigación están abiertos a todos y de uso gratuito. Esta política de apertura crea un ambiente fructífero para clientes de la biblioteca: se puede elegir y utilizar la biblioteca que se adapte mejor a sus necesidades. La apertura también ayuda a las bibliotecas finlandesas a cooperar y formar bibliotecas conjuntas, así como consorcios de bibliotecas. Juntos somos fuertes...

Writing and Refining Information Literacy Learning Outcomes

Chris Sweet

One of the cornerstones of effective information literacy assessment is having clearly-defined student learning outcomes. Learning outcomes specify what learners will know or be able to do as a result of a learning activity. Accrediting bodies often look for specific learning outcomes as one component of the review process. Most librarians have received little –or no- training in writing learning outcomes. This workshop will provide an overview of learning outcomes, their role in assessment and how to write them. Participants are encouraged to come with an instruction session or class for which they want to write or refine learning outcomes.

The document summarizes the curriculum and activities at Sedge Garden Kindergarten. It discusses the rotating lessons in science, math, and social studies that expose students to different units. Students participate in hands-on activities related to community helpers, the five senses, holidays and customs, math, and special classes like computer lab and science lab. The kindergarteners also enjoy special guests, events, and field trips. The document quotes Robert Fulghum's work about what he learned in kindergarten, including sharing, playing fair, cleaning up after yourself, and holding hands with others. It encourages readers to enroll their children in the kindergarten program.

A young boy and his cousin had a strange experience while playing hide and seek in the attic of their aunt and uncle's old country house one summer. While hiding behind an old sofa in the dark attic, the boy heard unexplained footsteps approach and stop near his hiding place before the attic door suddenly slammed shut. Scared, the boys ran downstairs without stopping. When they told their aunt and uncle what happened, they did not believe them. Mysteriously, the house burned down a year later with the fire starting in the attic.

The document appears to be a collection of questions and prompts for students to ask each other about their experiences, memories from childhood, travel experiences, and general knowledge questions. Some of the questions include "How long have you lived in your house?", "What games did you use to play when you were a child?", and "What is the best book you've read recently? Why?". The document also includes exercises for students to complete sentences in past simple or present perfect tenses.

This document is a collection of short passages that define and provide examples for the words "horrible", "invigorated", "presented", "aid", "persistent", and "sweltering". Each word is defined and then examples are given showing how it could be used in sentences related to common experiences like gifts, cooking, playing, and hot weather. The passages encourage imagining scenarios related to feeling horrible or invigorated and how different things could aid or make one feel persistent.

An activity where participants learn each other's names and an animal they would like to be. 3. An activity where participants are split into groups and must untangle themselves to form a circle. 4. An activity where participants think of themselves in abstract terms like a hammer or nail and discuss their choices. 5. An activity where participants make sentences using the letters of each other's names. 6. An activity where participants share unusual facts about themselves and guess who

This document proposes a game called "World's Loudest Library" where books are left in public places for others to find, read, and rehide, with the goal of spreading books, ideas, and fun throughout the community. Participants are encouraged to share their book findings on social media and bring new books to monthly parties to continue replenishing the circulating library. The aim is to promote reading, chance encounters, and positive social interaction.

Marketing the library

Australian School Library Association

This document provides guidance on marketing the library through effective communication strategies. It emphasizes that libraries must promote themselves in order to attract users, as people will not automatically know about improvements or new offerings. The key recommendations are to clearly define the target audience, positioning, promises, and desired actions when marketing the library. Specific tactics discussed include newsletters, displays, events, and finding creative ways to engage both regular and new users. The overall message is that libraries need an intentional promotion plan to build awareness and encourage greater use.

Pa day eco camp wrw

Jennifer Heaton

The campers learned about reducing waste through games, crafts and outdoor activities. They sorted trash, made memory boxes from recycled materials, and went on an eco-scavenger hunt using reused containers. The campers then chose books from the library to donate, and made crafts from recycled bottle caps before the day ended. The goal was to teach the children how to be environmentally friendly and reuse materials.
