New Spanish-Language Section at Barnesville School Library Highlights Cross-Curricular Model

With the help of Mrs. Roos (Assistant Director), Mr. Thompson (Facilities Director), Ms. Eargle (Art Teacher), and Student & Parent volunteers, the bookshelves at the entrance to the library were cleared out and artwork was installed. 

When Ms. Walsh began working at Barnesville School last year, she realized that there were Spanish-language books shelved throughout the library and in various classrooms around the school, but they were difficult to track down. “I wanted to make these titles accessible,” said Ms. Walsh, “there was a lot of rearranging.” She orchestrated the consolidation of all the Spanish-language titles with visibility in mind, “The shelves next to the front door to the library are an excellent place to showcase our growing Spanish-language section, and demonstrates  that we value the cross-curricular model,” she noted, adding, “we want to make Spanish accessible for students via multiple access points.”
