What Could Today Be?

Did You Know … Today (March 26) is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day?
There are lots of fun and funny “Special Days”. Some of them are pretty silly (over the March Break we missed Extraterrestrial Abduction Day, Absolutely Incredible Kid Day, and National Goof Off Day). Some of them are more serious or official (like World Storytelling Day and World Water Day – both of which happened last week). Some are simply delicious (like Popcorn Lovers’ Day and Chocolate Covered Raisin Day). And all of these holidays were created by someone.

Librarians Are Helpers Day ~ Today, I had the honour of being interviewed by the SKs for their Community Helpers UoI. I am very proud to get to represent librarians. I am super impressed with the variety of insightful questions the SKs asked. Thanks for inviting me, SKs!
L.I.Ts Are AWESOME! Day ~ Our L.I.T Library Helpers were back at it today. They were helping check books in and helping Recess Readers check books out. They were sorting through the newly cataloged books, giving them each their barcode sticker and finding each books proper place on the shelves.
Write It-Cite It Day ~ One of the things I get to do both in and outside of The Library is provide help with Research & Writing Skills. This includes introducing the grade 6s to the exciting world of citations! (yes, that is a bit of sarcasm – citations aren’t the most exciting thing but they are very important). So, for Write It-Cite It Day we will have fun with citations including a few challenges. (note: Check out the Write It-Cite It page here on the blog for citation tips).
Conquer a Mountain of Books Day ~ For me, that means tackling the mountain of books returned before the March Break (don’t forget to check if you have any outstanding books still at home or hiding in your desk!). It could also mean getting to those books in your To-Be-Read pile (personally, I have a very long list!). For Melvil, it means literally climbing a mountain of books …
