The End. (for now)

We bid adieu to April, and with it, the Shelf Challenge.

I hope you all had fun.

This year the Challenge proved too much for me.

Was it the busy schedule? The dry books? The larger shelf section?

If doesn't really matter. What does matter is that it got me to read from our collection every day. It also gave me the opportunity to meet a ton of new library friends and to see what great books they were discovering in their collections.

So how did you do? Did you finish your section? Did you discover some awesome books? I certainly hope you! And I certainly hope had fun while doing it.

I'm collecting data to see just what kind of impact we made collectively throughout the Shelf Challenge. Please take five minutes to complete the survey below and let me know what I can improve upon for next year.




And thanks so much again for being part of the Shelf Challenge! It was awesome to have you on board!

The End. (for now)

Final "L" book on the shelves at Longfellow.

At last... We've come to the end, my friends.

30 days of reading.

Many, many books spanning different genres, publication dates, and levels of appropriateness to say the least.

I hope you feel better for it.

I do.

Exhausted, but better for it.

Looking forward to sharing this space with other Shelf Challenge readers over the next few days as they reflect on their time spent nose-deep in their collections.

Happy School Library Month.

We look forward to you joining us for next year's Shelf Challenge.
