This week is one of my favorite weeks of the year - Banned Books Week! I see my job as a LMS as a way to provide open access to information for all of my patrons, and there is no better time to celebrate the right to read than Banned Books Week. This year we have a fabulous Banned Books Week book display created by my lovely interns! They worked hard to create a display that would entice our patrons to read banned books. We pull books from the ALA lists of most commonly challenged/banned books. We also are announcing Banned Books facts on the announcements each day and hosting a contest where students guess the name of a banned book that has been deconstructed and placed in "jail". This year, we are hyper-focused on fostering independent reading habits among our middle school students. As a component of this initiative, we are rewarding those students who reach their goals with a bulletin board display and incentives like parties and the points store. We already have one student who has earned 100 points! This week, I spent time updating our bulletin board and preparing our points store for the first quarter opening.
