Re: GEN:interesting article!?!

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@OREDNET.ORG>]

OH, it's really a whole 'nother ballgame at elementary.
And the Espresso cart just wouldn't be a go!  :D But
we can add some comfort -- many have (a couch, a reading
corner with kid appeal, stuffed animals, and so on).
And we can update our displays and the way we present
things. I bought quite a few of those little book easels
for displaying books (instead of just standing them up
on their own). And I use clear plastic stand-up frames
with info or "sales pitches" in them. I keep one on each
of the tables in the staff room too. Instead of listing
today's luncheon specials or the wine list, they list
some great new books "now available" in the library.
I try to change them frequently so that they are read
and not ignored. And when I swoop thru for mail, I move
them from one table to another (ppl tend to sit in the
same place day after day).

There are little things we can do.
