9. • Full: pull one full shelf at a time; label, change call
number in system; return to shelf, ad nauseam.
*put sticker above or below spine label
*call number: FIC RIO Fantasy or FIC PIL Humor
or change spine label Fantasy RIO
Helpful hints:
I depended on CIP, Round Rock ISD ; any large public library catalog
12. • Wordle
• Use ADVANCED to weight words and keep names together
• Create a list in a word document so that you can copy and paste the
words.
13. Have a grand reveal for students
(and staff):
• Student/staff commercials to
“sell” their favorite genre
• Scavenger Hunt
• Sticker Reward per genre read
Reward yourself with an evening off and a good book!

Readerpants Lesson
Many books could easily fall into more than one genre category. We
turned this into a lesson for all our students by putting a sticky-note on
those books, listing 2-3 genres we thought would fit best. We kept these
books on a table with some pencils, and students in the library could read
the book blurb and vote (on the sticky note) on which genre they thought it
should be. Since the whole point of this project was to help students find
books where they were looking for them, the genre receiving the most
votes for that book was the one that stuck. This was also our sneaky little
way to get students school-wide reading lots of different book blurbs

Depending on your level, you may use different terms: thriller, horror, scary—whatever your students ask for; you can make your own labels
Demco is my favorite
Students can pull from a list. Label, change call number in system, and either set aside or reshelve until you are done. I did full genre and put sections in alpha order: Adventure, Classic, Fantasy, etc.
