First thing this morning I was in the high school library doing all the usual daily tasks. I checked in and out books and then reshelved them. I also processed new magazines and put the older ones out into circulation. I also attempted creating an overdue library materials list with Alexandria. I wanted to make a list that didn't show student names, only their bar code number, so we could post the lists without infringing on privacy. However, in the time I was there, I could not get it to work just right. I then resumed my regular substitute teaching duties for a couple classes.

Toward the end of the day I worked in the middle school library, continuing with the inventory project. I entered a bunch of books and also worked with the 7th grade homeroom students that came in. They needed help finding books and I also renewed books for them, and checked in and out their books. After the homeroom I met with Deb for a while and she showed me the primary ways she orders books and discussed her annual budget. South Milwaukee's common school fund was trimmed by about $11,000 from last year to this year, so Deb had to make a few adjustments as the school year is winding down. For ordering materials, Deb is a big fan of Follett because they provide such a wide variety of services and make ordering so simple. I am yet to see a flaw with Follett myself and plan to use them as much as I can when I work at my school next year.
