This is going to be fun!  Every day as I walk the halls students stop me…..  Can I give you this book?  Here is a fine.  Did you find that book for me?  I always direct them to the library.  Go ask Ms. Moffett.  She is at the desk and can help you.  Then one day while perusing Pinterest I saw the Little Free Libraries (my friend and librarian Beth Jones at MLCHS is collaborating with her art teachers to build one) and decided a Pop Up Library is what I needed.  A way for students to take care of library business, chat with me on their turf, and see that the library has some unique things to offer.  I found an old laptop cart (a very expensive thing that has now found its way to the back room), painted it, glued some cute folders inside to hold papers, fliers, poems, whatever, tied some old shopping bags to the sides of it, loaded it with books and voila!  I stacked some little stools on it so students could sit and browse.  I think I’ll swap these out for camp chairs I can strap to the top.  I envision visiting classrooms bookmobile style, going outside with it when the weather gets nicer.  Beause it was a laptop cart, it comes complete with power!  I can charge devices, run a Cricut or 3D printer!  Today kids looked at me like I was weird.  (The football coach was acting as my barker…..”get your library books here”) . so I can’t really blame them.  But I can totally see the potential!  I renewed a book and collected 2.  So I’ll count that as success.
