It has been a busy 6 weeks. I introduced our new reading program, Beanstack, to all of our Junior ELAR classes, and the advanced Freshman and Sophomore ELAR classes. I am hoping to get to the rest of the Freshman and Sophomore classes this 6 weeks.
Looking at the highlights, I can already see a difference in the number of books checked out by classes. When I first started to keep the books checked out by homeroom statistic, the numbers were so low, like I think the largest number was 27. 27 books checked out by one class during a six weeks! Yikes! Now I see that the homerooms are checking out triple digits . . . mostly. I call that an improvement.
The database usage looked a bit high for the first 6 weeks, and then I remembered that the ProCom classes were working on a speech, the Art I classes were researching art movements, and I showed some of the classes our databases when they came in for the Library Introduction.
So overall, I am happy with the usage statistics this 6 weeks. However, I am excited to have the other Freshman and Sophomore classes come to the library so I can introduce Beanstack and the databases to them as well.
