Gilson Jr. High Spirit Week

Students at the jr. high library show up in wild hats during Spirit Week!

HHES Staff Learning VIA Webinar Training

One of the companies the VCS Libraries uses to purchase books from is The Junior Library Guild.

Junior Library Guild (JLG) is a literary review and selection service for children’s and young-adult books serving school and public libraries, established in 1929, and used by more than 17,000 librarians today.

This past week Teresa Richardson, George Gilson Jr. High Library  Para-Professional, and Barb Bryson, HHES Librarian, went to the JLG website for some “real time” training with a JLG presenter.  They learned about  some of the extra reading incentive opportunities our teachers can make use of by purchasing books from their company.

Mrs. Richardson: Junior High Librarian

Mrs. Richardson keeps busy at the junior high library supporting the teachers and students in a variety of ways.  She’s already held her annual library book fair to support her library budget which she dove-tales with fall parent-teacher conferences. Ordering new books and materials, keeping the library operating smoothly, and running the annual spelling bee, are just a few of the many tasks Mrs. Richardson routinely takes on at the George Gilson Junior High.

Thank you Mrs. Richardson  for your ongoing dedication to the Valdez City School Libraries!
