Kelly Elementary Library Helpers Share Love of Reading
The Library Helpers search online catalogs, find appropriate books for the students, recite poetry to them and share their love of reading.
Pictured here with Carlsbad Unified School District’s March 2013 Classified Employee of the Month, Kelly Elementary School Library Media Technician Sherri James, are her valued Library Helpers. These fifth-graders, who were selected last fall after applying for the position, devote 30 minutes a week (often giving up recess and lunch time) to their multifaceted tasks. Each is responsible for the neatness of “their” library shelf and for an assigned group of K-2 students.
Sherri James reports, “The Library Helpers make a valuable contribution while gaining confidence and other skills. To the younger kids, they’re rock stars!”
