During the first week of school, Granite’s elementary media clerks gathered in small groups for professional development sessions held at five different elementary school libraries in the district. In this setting they were able to collaborate with other clerks who work in library spaces of the same or similar design, exploring the spaces to gain ideas for improving organization, flow, displays, and atmosphere. In this post we feature display ideas from these five libraries as they stood ready to welcome back students in the coming days.

Thank you to Jody Noakes, Marlene Roundy, Leslie Benson, Maria Bucio, Debbie Brady, Laura Biesinger, Jennifer Porter, Laura Schmidt, and Valerie Pettinger, the media clerks at these schools, for making and sharing such inviting spaces for students and allowing everyone a sneak peak at your start-of-the-year preparations.
Love these displays! I wish we could have gone to ALL the libraries!
We certainly have a fantastic group of talented people in our Media Centers! I love these ideas. Well done everyone.
