[AISLE-Share] Junior high

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Hi!  I am a starting my 12 year librarian in a k8 building that shares one
big library.  I am on a fixed schedule teaching k-4 and the jh ideally
schedules a time where they can come down for library checkout and ssr.  We
had lots of trouble this last 2 years with our jh not coming with schedule
issues or behavior.  I kept stats which proved the poor checkout numbers
especially in grades 7 and 8 and shared them with the previous admin and it
wasn't addressed.  We finally  have a new administration team that I know
is going to support the jh using the library and values reading.  My
library is very beautiful and welcoming with a nice size and relevant YA
collection. I want to get some ideas of some things I could do in the
library to promote jh literacy. I do the Monarchs for K-3, use bluestems
for our annual 4th grade battle of the books.  I tried doing caudills with
5-8 but it fizzled.  I need some low stress ideas because of my K-4
schedule.  Any help, ideas would be so appreciated:)
Thanks!
Patty Kulesza
