Book fair ‘open for business’ in SRCSA library

Families, have you visited the book fair yet at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts? Lots of great books to choose from, and proceeds support the library and also books for teachers’ classrooms.

Scholastic Book Fair, cabinets arrive

The library will be a very different place at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts, when these Scholastic Book Fair cabinets are opened, and the merchandise is arranged. Appreciation to the many volunteers who make the book fair and Literacy Week possible.

Award winners in SRCSA library

Among new arrivals in the library at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts: some 2019 Medal and Honor-Book recipients of the American Library Association’s Youth Media Awards. Each year, the ALA recognizes “the best” among children’s and young adult literature. In the photo: this partial view shows a few of the recent honorees. There were more books in this counter-top display than I could fit in the frame — and a few books are missing from the display, for the absolute best of reasons: that is, the books have found their way into readers’ hands. Appreciation to the School for the Arts Community Organization, which financed purchasing new books for the library.

Novel sets, cataloged for Language Arts class

My ongoing mission as a “curriculum librarian” for Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts: to catalog and barcode novel sets when teachers alert me that they’re assigning them. Shown here are some books that I recently cataloged for middle-school Language Arts.

Cataloging is essential to tracking the use of resources in-library or in-classroom, and Follett Resource Manager ties inventory records across Santa Rosa City Schools. The automated catalog offers a single go-to place for keeping track of educational resources.
