2016 Abe Award books

It's that time of year that makes high school librarians exicited: Starting that year's Abe award books plugging.  I am no different.  I am making bookmarks, creating displays, copying lists, planning on showing book trailers to classes, and deciding incentives.  With this in mind, I am including the link the the complete Abe books award booktrailers through youtube. 2016 Abraham Lincoln Award Nominees.

Enjoy!

Summer break is about at a close.  Lots of changes this summer.  I got married in July, really started decorating and organizing my house (still a work in progress for awhile), and got a new job.  I'm really starting to go through my school stuff and get sorted what I want to take to my new schools, what I want to keep at home, what I want to store, and what I want to pitch.  Anyone who really knows me knows that this is no small task for me.  I make a big mess organizing before get things sorted.  So right now, my living room and craft room are a mess.  Luckily the kids are with their moms and my husband is at work so thing I have to worry about is my dogs getting nosy.  I got kicked into gear with my school stuff because I got a call from one of my new coworkers about beginning of the year tasks and I realized that I needed to really get in gear about school.  I am very ready for a new school, new coworkers, and new students.  I am nervous about making sure that I am what they need me to be, but I just have to remind myself that I have the skills and knowledge for my job.

Here's to married life, parenthood, a new school and all other adventures that come my way.
Allons-y!
