Library is flourishing so blogmaster is moving on...
The CCA Library has come such a long way in 3 years - look at the photos in the last posting! Carol and her team of Linda, Leslie, Bev, Jamie, Ramona and Peter have worked hard and smart to bring the library to this place. Carol is now the on-site librarian and main cataloguer. My part from the beginning was to bring the mini-assortment of books that CCA had and turn it into the makings of a library that could make its way to accreditation. Right now there is enough "library" to have as a base from which to begin improvements for accreditation. So I , blogmaster and library builder will move on to other adventures. So as of this posting, this blog is ending. Blessings on you all at Community Christian Academy, Lowell MA

The librarian in her new habitat...
Community Christian Academy Library, Lowell MA
Our librarian Carol here is helping a student - on her knees as usual. She is also shown managing the library's catalog. Across from her desk are bins full of books waiting to be catalogued - about 400. An eighth grader - Sam- comes in to help with this never ending process - as 2 parents from the PTO - Linda and Leslie.

New library now has study areas...
Community Christian Academy Library, Lowell MA
The big brown table is a great addition to the library - there had been no place to lay out reference books for study in the old location. It also provides an area for classroom instruction in the library (one of the many requirements of for full accreditation with ACSI). Note also our first quiet study area - surrounded by cataoguing bins - but still a private area for a bit of reading.
