AISD Campuses Celebrate Library Snapshot Day

Grandmother Janice Burrell reads to her grandson, Ethan Burrell, a student at Harris Academy.

Library Snapshot Day provides a way for libraries of all types across a state, region, system or community to show what happens in a single day in their libraries. How many books are checked out? How many people receive help finding a job? Doing their taxes? Doing their homework? This initiative provides an easy means to collect statistics, photos and stories that will enable library advocates to prove the value of their libraries to decision-makers and increase public awareness.

All across the district, school librarians snapped images of students and families using the library for a variety of purposes including reading, research, and puppet shows.

The students at Teague Middle School are pictured setting up their Google drive accounts in the library media center as they prepare to do research for History Fair.

Students at Johnson Elementary School are seen in the library retelling a story using puppets.
