Have you ever wondered...

how library books get from the store to the shelves?  Here's a sneak peek of how our latest group of books made it on to library shelves.

First comes my favorite part...SHOPPING!!

You might be a librarian if your trip to Barnes and Noble requires boxes and a dolly. :o)

Next, we spread out all the books and prepare them for processing!

So many things to read!  I wonder what I should read first...

Processing books involves putting on the spine labels and bar codes as well as wrapping the covers.

The wonderful Ms. Young hard at work processing books.

After the books are bar coded and labeled each book is put into the library catalog and checked in.

We got more copies of Maze Runner. Wahoo!!

Finally the books are ready for checkout and out for display!!

And several are already on hold!

I hope you come by and check out (or put on hold) some of our wonderful new titles!  Me? I'm reading Asylum by Madeleine Roux (a creepy read with real photos in the style of Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children) and Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau (the sequel to The Testing).

Keep on reading,

Mrs. Leffel :o)
