I think I've finally gotten into a routine here at the BPCC library. I have had several classes of varying ages come in to visit. Though the classes are small, I quickly discovered that book talking any books took too much time. The first day I tried to discuss several different types of books: fantasy, scary stories and general fiction. The students seemed to like the books I discussed and a few were selected as their books for the week, but it took too much time away from their browsing time.
I am trying to get a feel for what types of books the kids are interested in, but it's difficult. It's also difficult to recommend another book that they might like if we don't have one they do want. One of the problems I'm running into is that I don't know what books are in the library.
Another issue I'm noticing is that some of the students are interested in books like Hannah Montana, or High School Musical, or Babysitter's Club. While I would like to get them reading books that are a little better quality, I suppose I should settle with being glad that they are reading at all.
35 hours total.
