LLC at Mary Jane Shannon

I had the pleasure of visiting Sonja at M. J. Shannon and took a few photos to show some of the great features of the library learning commons.  I noticed seating available in a variety of heights. It was a very welcoming space!

Soft green high tables with stools have proven to be very popular with students.

Comfortable bean bags, pillows and stools offer seating at different levels. The large counter hides deep shelving, perfect for makerspace bins! The countertop provides display space and is easily cleared for project work.

Shaped tables with wheels on two legs are easily rearranged according to need.

District Meeting for Surrey Teacher-Librarians

A new year begins...

September has always been the "new year" for me as a teacher-librarian. New students, new books, new ideas to try. Last year saw many teacher-librarians try out coding and makerspace ideas with their students. I'm looking forward to our District Teacher-Librarian meeting on Thursday this week and seeing some of those ideas in action! In the meantime, here's a link to a short Youtube video you may find useful in teaching students about taking care of their library books.
