Snapshot Day in the Library

"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." -Jorge Luis Borges

Yesterday was Library Snapshot Day. Unfortunately the library was being used for kids to take a state mandated test yesterday so I ran around and snapped a few pictures today. Of course, I forgot to get the camera out when I had over 30 students in the library for a lesson on good first lines in books. I also forgot to get the camera out when Library Club members sat around discussing out next planned activity or talking up their favorite books. So what I am left with is a bunch of random pictures of students just using the library throughout the day. Since I didn't secure their permission to publish faces I am only hosting photos of the library where the students aren't recognizable. I'll do better next time!
Both girls wanted a romance!
Searching for a perfect book.
Searching the catalog.  This computer is dedicated to just that purpose.

One gal just couldn't find what she needed so she had to clean out her whole purse (no wonder!)
