employee wages
by Oscoda County Library 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Good morning, My library board asked me to poll other librarians regarding employee wages. If you have classifications, such as library aides, library clerks: do you have a salary/wage cap? Does your board issue wages based on cost of living increase or based on performance? How frequently do you issue raises? Thank you in advance for your assistance. -- Amy Knepp, Director Oscoda County Library 430 W. Eighth Street Mio, MI 48647 TEL: 989-826-3613 TAX: 989-826-5461 http://www.oscoda.lib.mi.us

K-3 Reading List help
by CATHERINE KERNS 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

Does anyone know of a K-3 reading list compiled by age/grade level of characters? A teacher requested a reading list from one of my para-pro's by main characters grade level. I couldn't think of a way to compile this list easily without doing searches by a range of reading level and then reading the book descriptions. Any suggestions? -- *Catherine Kerns* *Library Media Specialist* *Heritage High School* *(989) 799-5790 ext.8080* *White Pine Middle School* *(989) 797-1814 ext. 3241* “A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.” ― Lemony Snicket <http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/36746.Lemony_Snicket>
