At SRCSA: Cataloging for classrooms and for library

Cynthia M. Parkhill sits at library desk with keyboard, monitor, barcode scanner, small stack of barcoded books and a sheet of barcodes in front of her at the counter. She's wearing her white-image-against-black 'Narwhal' hoodie for Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts, decorated with metallic gold trim along the edge of the hood, and her newsboy hat with a brim and alternating panels of white-against-black elephant pattern brocade with red stripes. The remaining panels of the hat are solid olive-green, and solid denim-blue. The hat band is solid olive-green. She is also wearing sparkly green-knit wristers that just peek out beneath the long sleeves of the hoodie.

This week was enjoyably characterized by cataloging and barcoding new materials. First up were textbooks and educational resources from Santa Rosa City Schools, which I processed and delivered to classrooms as Instructional Materials Technician. Next, I cataloged books for the library as the school’s Library Technician. The beautiful green decorations shown are for Literacy Week; volunteers worked tirelessly today to set up for Scholastic Book Fair in the library. As of Friday afternoon some $300 in books, purchased with book-fair dollars, had already enriched the library, and I’m truly grateful to past and present support that made the purchases possible. I wish even more success to book fair during the coming week.
