Library Orientations

Library Spotlight: Michelle Asay, Granger High School

November 2014Josh Whiting

IMG_0311Michelle Asay is the Library Media Educational Technology Specialist for Granger High School.  Mrs. Asay has one of the highest digital and print circulations in the district. She is very creative and offers a different library promotion each month to promote school wide literacy. She is an avid reader herself and keeps up on all the current YA literature trends.

Take a Reading Roadtrip Across the USA!

The Granger High Media Center theme for the 2014-2015 school year is Take a Reading Roadtrip Across the USA!

Mrs. Asay is featuring books that take place in various geographic regions of the United States via book talks and book displays throughout the year. Students have punch cards where they can keep track of which regions and states they have covered, and they must read at least one book from each region to beat the yearlong challenge. Students also have access to lists of YA Books by state and region online via G-House Center, the Granger High Media Center web site, on which are curated several state book lists from Destiny, Goodreads, the collaborative Google Doc YA Novels by State, and The United States of YA.

Library Orientation with QR Code Scavenger Hunt

This year students used QR Codes and iPads to participate in Mrs. Asay’s library orientations.  Students explored the library searching for QR codes that introduced them to the “Take a Reading Roadtrip Across the USA” school literacy promotion, Destiny Library Catalog, OverDrive Digital Library, how to locate different genres and sections in the library, how to place a hold on a book, and more.
