Shelf Markers for Kids

Bernabi Library in Spencerport uses paint stirrers for student shelf markers. The students’ barcode labels are put on the sticks then the kids personalize them with markers. My question for Pamela Bigsby the librarian, “What do you do if they start whacking one another with them?”  Her reply was the offenders miss some of their book borrowing time – return to their table and sit.  She stated the rules clearly and has had no ‘swordplay’ in the library. The students take ownership of their decorated shelf makers and return them to the colorful wastebasket at the circ desk when they are done.   Pamela said the sticks have streamlined the check-out process for her classes.

Order in the Library Flash Game

This post has nothing to do with Destiny. A game for sorting and shelving books is linked below. Users enter a first and last name then pick an animal avatar. It is juvenile...and fun!
When you click on the link you will be taken to the Way Back Machine website. Just click on the "Impatient?" icon  and you'll be directed to the game.
