Open House at the Library

This week school started back, which means we had open house. Since I'm new to the library thing I wasn't sure what to expect. I honestly thought I wouldn't see a single soul set foot in the library. Usually parents just focus on meeting the classroom teacher in our district. Even though I thought no one would be interested, I propped open the door and hoped people would drop by. 

I was pleasantly surprised to have people intentionally drop by. One parent came in and was talking about the difference between comic books and regular books. Another parent came in and talked about biographies. One student flew in to look for the book she wanted to read. A brand new student to the district asked if they could come in and we got to talk about how he was nervous about starting. 

I was excited to see students excited and parents engaging with them about reading! Next year I want to ramp things up and have a drawing for books, music, and other things to draw parents in.
