Stony talked about the BASE books from Butler center that you can earn points to get free. He asked about sanitation of Playaways and techniques for checking them out. LHHS has tons and so does GCL so check their card cats. Most put the case on shelf for kids and keep the actual playawy in the office of library. They don't supply the battery at the public but LHHS does; earbuds can be bought for $1 each and are not supplied usually to the kids; they use their ipod earbuds.He also brought up an a sequential art expo that will handled by the Art Church and Terri Menifee for students graphic comic type of entries. More info to follow in a couple of weeks. We discussed how to select Graphic titles and the difficultly of it. Even GCL has had to pull some off the shelf. Jill discussed National Board certification process. Adam discussed tech classes that have been a hit for senior citizens at the GCL and Wii games and where to get them (Big Brain Academy, Are you smarter than a 5th grader and Word Coach). Also, ALA certification thru No Texas State Uni. Lori thinks we should use Draper's "Fire from the Rock' for Feb book club and do a skyppe with the author for all of our sites. It is TAB or TRC book fliers for this month in paperback. Lori also asked about putting "Tricks" into the colletion. It is very explicit. Most will not even in hi schools. Rachel has it in hers though. Cindy led a discussion on how to spend less time on overdues and what the law really meant about privacy. Kindles were discussed and GCL put theirs up for sale; most schools don't have them yet. Rachel has ordered a Nook.
