National School Librarian Day – 2017

April 4, 2017

April 4th is National School Librarian Day. Significantly we set aside this day to honor all school librarians. In the hope that they understand how much we appreciate them and the central role they play in furthering the education of all of us.

National School Librarian Day at primary and secondary schools

First, Librarians spend countless hours organizing thousands of items. In order to make it easy for their patrons to easily find items that match their interests and passions. Not to mention they create an environment that is fun to explore and find passions we didn’t know we had. As an illustration, our favorite school librarians Mrs. Livengood at Jefferson, Mrs. Zimmer at Clymer and Mrs. Trapani at Frewsburg schools, provide bright and inviting learning spaces. Certainly their students are molded by these wonderful learning environments. Of course we wish them and their colleagues a wonderful National School Librarian Day.

Post Secondary Librarians

Significantly librarians house information critical to the study and advancement of our world. Including our favorite university map librarians at Penn State and the University of Arizona. Indeed these collections contribute to:

First cartographic projections – understanding the size, shape and position of all lands.
Second, human geography – study of the relationship between people and their environments.
Next, the exploration of geneology via land ownership maps.
Fourth the evolution of populated areas.
Not to mention earth and mineral science.
Sixth the study of human history.
As well as political science.

Happy National Librarian Day to All Librarians!

Overall from primary school to the university level these librarians are key to our development as well as the future study of our world. In essence these librarians spark our first interest in reading, researching and in depth study. In summary we are thankful to you all and we wouldn’t be here without you! Happy National Librarian Day to you all.

Why choose this vertical flat file for library poster & map storage

Frewsburg secondary school selected the Ulrich Cadfile for their library poster & map storage. First because the Cadfile is a high capacity map storage cabinet. In fact this cabinet can store 1,000 posters and maps in the smallest footprint available. Next this cabinet is less than 11 inches deep. Also the cabinet easily rolls on it’s heavy duty casters. Allowing it to be stored anywhere in the library.

The Cadfile is a vertical flat file which uses a unique spring compression system, and heavy duty folders to protects the documents from damage. In addition this cabinet uses very little floor space for document storage. While this vertical flat file cabinet’s heavy duty folders provide great document protection and a convenient way to organize your library poster & map storage.

Preserving a Special Collection – library poster & map storage

One collection in Frewsburg’s library poster & map storage is Picturing America. Which includes 40 large high-quality, full color, reproductions of works of art. This art spans several centuries and containing work created by American painters, sculptors, photographers and architects.

“Naturally, we are excited to have these beautiful and historic images available to our children, says Robin Trapani, Frewsburg’s Library Media Specialist. “We display these posters on a rotating basis. And the Ulrich Cadfile preserves and protects the posters while they are in storage. As a result children can enjoy these images for many, many years.”

Before we had several sections of flat file cabinets that we were using for this purpose. The flat file cabinets used to much valuable library space and were not very attractive. While Ulrich Cadfile cabinet is so small. Of course it fits well in our library. And the cabinet will hold this collection plus many more. It is amazing that such a small cabinet can hold 1,000 documents.”

GREAT CHOICE FOR POSTER AND BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE.

We will provide all students the opportunity to learn today so they may contribute to a better tomorrow – Clymer Central School Motto

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in school library — Poster and Bulletin Board Storage

Mary Zimmer is the embodiment of this motto

Her picture shows her enthusiasm for her job as Library Media Specialist, and the energetic spirit she brings to it every day. Mary utilizes posters, bulletin boards, anchor charts and signs to provide a bright, organized and stimulating environment for her elementary and junior high learners. She uses these posters, bulletin boards and signs and changes them frequently to encourage her students to read books, research new concepts, and explore new ideas.

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in Ulrich Cadfile — Clymer School Library uses Cadfile for Bulletin Board Storage

Poster and Bulletin board storage became a problem for Mary. She wanted a way to protect the precious budget dollars she had invested in these items. A storage solution that would keep these items handy when she needed them and tucked neatly out of sight when she didn’t. – who wants to waste space on storage! But most of all Mary didn’t want to waste her valuable time searching for her poster, anchor charts and bulletin board items when they were needed.

She tried a traditional poster rack. However she felt that the whole experience had been a waste of both time and money. The poster rack did not protect her posters, anchor charts and bulletin board items. And the traditional rack took up a lot of space, was unattractive and worst it was difficult to organize these items and find them when needed.

ULRICH SOLVES BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE

Mary was very excited when she chose the Ulrich Cadfile as her poster and bulletin board storage solution. And it solved all of her concerns:
