📚 Finding 6-7 in the library: Kids knew exactly where to look! 📚

Readers, have you heard young people around you saying the phrase “6-7”? It’s been going viral among some of the students at SRCSA. And there was a lot of interest among some students today in our library, for books shelved under 006.7, Dewey Decimal Classification. So much so, that I created a short-form YouTube video commemorating the occurrence.

SRCSA library: New arrivals in mid-to-late October 2025

Here is a slideshow featuring some new arrivals during mid-to-late October 2025: including picture books that support learning about consent and that foster self-awareness; and a nominee for the California Young Reader Medal, 2025-2026. There are new fiction books, and graphic novels, as well. And several books were purchased using Scholastic Book Fair dollars. Appreciation to our parents’ group for making these new additions possible. This slideshow was created in Canva. The music is Funky House by Nver Avetyan.

I thought I’d put together and narrate a slide presentation to add a visual element to my reasoning.

Replacing and updating book jackets with collage

Novels’ dust jackets go missing sometimes, which limits that book’s ability to attract potential readers. I’ve been using the art form of collage to replace and update books’ dust jackets.
