CANANDAIGUA – The COVID-19 pandemic forced most everyone to make on-the-job adjustments, and school librarians were no different.
At the Canandaigua Primary-Elementary School, a large collection of titles that kids know and love were loaded up on carts and brought to the outside of classrooms to serve as pop-up libraries, where students could still check out books while safely following pandemic restrictions on the number of people in a classroom.
As Teresa Keyes put it: “We actually had to take the library to the students.”
“I have massive arm muscles now from hauling carts through the primary building,” said Keyes, who is primary-teacher librarian at the school and an All Star.
