A return visit - La Jolla Country Day School

Some of you met Mrs Xuereb (on the left in this photo), a Library Media Specialist from this school who visited us in June. I called on her at her school in San Diego on my way back to Australia. First, it is a private school and also a very special school. There are 2 libraries and 3 Teacher librarians. What did I like?

The way their computers were installed on tables. Took little room and easy access. There were 50 computers for students to use in the library.

The way the prizewinning books were shelved at the entry to the library.

The tables were organised for seniors to use at any time.

That amazing lounge space for quiet reading. It had amazing windows and views.

The reading competition. What I liked was so many students actually completed this. I think the prize was a barbacue. Sounds good to me!

What I DIDNT like, was my hard disk corruption and I lost all the photos.
I also LOVED the bright pink bits in Mrs Xeureb's hair and had arranged to have my hair done too, so I also didnt like having to cancel because another appointment was more important. (Sigh!)
So many good things and I have no pictures!

Mrs R, who is now safely back at work with a head full of ideas!
