Funny :)

August 9th, 2012 at 04:20 am

Yesterday I mentioned that some of the neighborhood/school kids had set up a sno-cone/fry bread stand. I had bought a sno-cone for $.25 (but gave them $1.) Today when I was coming home from school, I noticed that they are now selling the sno-cones for $.50! Big Grin I guess they realized that they were majorly undercharging. Big Grin

As I was going through donated books today, I cam across this one book that looked interesting to me, but I wasn't sure if it'd be appropriate or not for our library. It is called, "The Kidnapping of Christina Latimar." I took it home to read and decide. Wow! It was really good -very suspenseful and some good twists and turns. I'm definitely going to put it in my Teen Fiction section and promote it too to my 7th/8th graders.

I ran again this morning - 45 minutes. I got there a few minutes earlier, but still got caught at the tail end by the maintenance guy. I plan on sleeping in tomorrow though - my principal asked me to speak to the newbies at lunch tomorrow, so I want to be sure to be well rested. Smile

I spent a good bit of time today getting desk space cleared off for my assistant. I may have use of her starting tomorrow - I can hardly wait!

I have a ton of boxes of books that I've weeded - either from the stacks or from donations. I'm really not sure what to do with them. Most of them are in good shape (I'm weeding duplicates, some triplicates as well as old and outdated or in poor shape books.)
If I was in Texas I'd haul them all to the nearest Half-Price bookstore, but I think the only used bookstore here went out of business this summer (besides, I don't know if they even purchased used books or not.) Some of the books are like new and fairly recent, so I may try selling them on half.com or something.

The little boy who let air out of my car tires last year drove by on his bike today. He called out to me, and told me that he wasn't coming back this year but was going to the public school. He lives diagonally across the street from me. I told him I was sorry to hear that, and truly I am, because despite the car tire incident(s??), I really did like him.

    My girls read that book (as I did in my junior high years) and I thought it was OK because I knew what it was about and we talked about it throughout and after. The one I read had a really creepy picture on the cover, the one the girls read had one that was less creepy.

    Time to get organized for back to school!

    The girls I tutor sold their outgrown books on the corner just like your students with the sno-cone & fry bread stand! $0.25 each for their paper backs. It was so cute to see. They were such a combination of shy and assertive in their sales, suggesting what book people might like to buy for their own kids....Would you be allowed to donate the books to a class that is having a fundraiser and they could possibly sell them for very little, yet still help the class a bit?

    Sounds like you are back at it. I hope this school year is a good one. Those kids are so lucky to have a librarian like you...I am sure you instill a joy for reading to many!!
