Caroline, a member of the Nebinger Friends came to help and brought her two children, Charlotte (age 10) and Adam (age 5).
Caroline assisted with the inventory checking and sorting. Thanks to her efforts the Early Chapter section is now completed.
Charlotte assisted by sorting some Teen/YA fiction, shelving some Classroom set titles .She is a voracious reader and a sharp eye, she quickly identified some titles that did not belong in the Teen/YA section. We had a lively discussion on the Harry Potter series and the difficulty in assigning the entire series to a single reading level/section. She shared which titles she found most appealing in the collection and gave some suggestions for future additions.
Adam was really helpful. He sorted out the Teen Fiction that was cataloged (had spine labels) and put them on a separate bookcase. Then he helped me shelf read that collection by author. He has an excellent grasp of the alphabet, as evidenced by his ability to sort the books based on the beginning letter of each author's last name. Thanks to Adam's assistance the Teen/YA cataloged collection is now shelf-read and sorted. There may be additions to this section, because the Juvenile Fiction section is still not completely shelf-read or sorted. I just wish I had a smidgen of his energy and enthusiasm.
Adam and Charlotte Helping Organize the Collection:
Another exciting development is the laser printer. It arrived earlier this week and Lisa, another Nebinger Friend installed it on Tuesday and had it programmed and running today. Once the labels arrive I will be able to start cataloging some of the new additions to the collection.
Tomorrow I plan to focus on the Juvenile Fiction section.
