however, I didn't witness this happening during the library special for my first graders. The first graders retunred their books at the cirrculation desk, The students were then directed to a caret where I was expecting them to be read to. This had always been my experience in gradeschool.
I was shocked to see the librarian put on a Big Comfy Couch episode. I thought this was terrible. The librairan, who should be the biggest advocate of reading, totally resorted to a video instead of a book.
The majority of their time, about thirty-five minutes, they watched the video. Then they had to scurry to select books to check out.
I was NOT impressed.

Wow! I can't believe that! We walked into the library the other day to help our teacher pick out some books for her classroom, and the librarian didn't really seem like that pleasant of a person...especially not with elementary children. I wasn't sure though! I can't believe she put on a movie!!!!
I can't believe that Sara, I remember when I was in elementary school the librarian read to us every time and we learned to do research and to look things up in the card catalog. Library isn't like that any more in elementary schools.
Amy, yeah, she didn't seem to chipper when we were there either.
