Once again this weebly site did not put up my post. Of course I forgot to save it and here I go again. This week took the CEBS disposition of leadership and did something on my own. I organized the teacher workroom and the video/DVD storage area. They are two different areas. The storage area is a room that is connected to the LME's office. The collection is put on shelves and needed to be put back in order, due to staff coming in and looking through them and not putting them back where they found them. The room was also cluttered with equipment (carts and overheads) that does not get used much. The LME later said they are slowly getting rid of it all, but they like to have some tv's and equipment in case it is needed by the school.
Next, I took a look at the workroom. First, I can honestly say it was a mess. I can say this because I have only used it once this year. The teachers professional journal were in clutter and the laminarting machine had been left on. The LME said that she was getting ready to use it and it had to warm up. Although she did say that some teachers come in to use it without asking assuming they know how to use and usually mess it up.
My LME was glad that I took the initiative and cleaned it up and thanked me for it. It was an eye opening week to see how other teachers view the library. Most of them do not clean up after themselves! There is so much traffic in our library it is really hard to see who does what. I think that this should be an area of concern for the LME to address it in a facutly meeting.
