Usborne - Books Kids Love!

What to Take to Libraries...

I use a suitcase on rollers filled with books for my library visits.  I put in two stacks of books with a library bound edition of Molly's Magic Carpet set up on one end as my stack "divider" so they won't all slide together.  You can use any bag or carryall to take your books, but I like wheels :).  

Judy Smith gave me the excellent idea of taking a three ring binder with comprehensive information on everything we have to offer Librarians and Media Specialists.  Nearly all the documents are things you can download and print from the EDC Educational Services link of your MY UBAH page.  Then make several copies at the copy shop so you'll have multiples in your binder.

Judy also gave me the great idea of using a laptop carrying case as a library service call carry-all.  The one I have has several nice pockets inside for catalogs, flyers, calculator, post-its and such.  I can keep it loaded so I always have it ready to go with all the things I need for every library call.  

Here's what we put in the binder:

• Ruth Smith's "Getting Usborne Books - How I Can Help" flyer

• S & L order form

• List of Usborne Books Accelerated Reader (AR) Titles (check this link for the most up to date list: http://www.renlearn.com/store/quiz_advanced.asp just type in Usborne as the publisher and click "go")

• List of Usborne Books with Consultant Written Tests for AR schools

• A couple sample Consultant written tests

• List of Dewey Decimal numbers 

• List of Top 50 sellers in Library Binding

• Reach For The Stars Flyers

• Book Fair Flyers

In the Bag I keep:

• Calculator

• Post-It's

• Pens

• Sharpies (hand one to the librarian so she can circle all the titles she needs :)

• Business cards

• The 3 ring binder!

• Usborne Educational Services Catalogs 3-4 - you never know who else may need one!

Now you're ready for any library appointment!
