Teacher Collaboration:
Because of testing and textbook collection, the library was closed for most of the month of May.
Community Outreach, Public Relations, and Displays:
Author Brandy Colbert's visit to MACHS Library was a success! More than 80 students attended the event. Colbert was amazing! She talked about her life, her experience as a writer, her struggles as a person of color without representation in the YA Lit world, and her perseverance in face of many difficulties.
Students left with a signed copy of her award-winning book Little and Lion. Thanks to Ms. Burton, Ms. Ho, Ms. Vandermeer, and Ms. Wiley for attending the event and bringing their classes. And thanks to all of the teachers who were gracious enough helping out with distributing tickets and allowing students to be a part of this event.
Brandy Colbert's visit was made possible by a partnership between MACHS Library and YALLWEST. YALLWEST is the largest YA book festival in the country. This is the second year that MACHS Library has hosted an author courtesy of YALLWEST. We hope to continue this strong partnership for many years to come.

Maintenance:
The lights above the stacks are still not working. This issue was first reported back in October. Certain sections are quite dark, making it hard for students to browse the collection.
The screen that is supposed to be mounted in front of the big art panel has yet to be installed. Without the screen, I am unable to deliver instruction while students use computers.
More roaches found their one into the library:
dead roach in a drawer
live roach in the restroom
live roach on the ceiling in the Workroom
live roach on my keyboard
live roach making its way into the library
This is now an infestation. It would be great to see this problem resolved over summer.
