The Centered School Library made me think, "How can my library space be used more effectively?" I had several windows that I covered because I didn't like looking into a storage room, my office, and a kitchenette. I didn't know what I was going to display on these make-shift bulletin boards. Cari's post put things into perspective for me. My library space is my "co-teacher" and should be used in a way that students will benefit.

There is one cork bulletin board that I decided to use as a theme board. The Library Vocabulary board will be interactive. Students will write definitions for library vocabulary, in their own words. I will choose a few to display. PBIS board also includes our matrix for expected behaviors in different areas of the school. It will not change throughout the year.

Some Daily 5 components will be used in the library. Students are already looking for "Good Fit" books. Once I have met with each class, I will display the "Good Fit" anchor chart near the circulation desk.
I'm going to move this Genre set to a more prominent spot. Right now the set is in a corner. I will put a fun quote in it's place.
I am anxious to find out how others are using their library spaces as a co-teacher.
