To address those two factors, for the past nine years we've had two elementary library assemblies, in the fall and spring. In the fall, ChaChaCha(Chief Check-out Chance) is a chance for students to see all the new books and check one out before Fall Break. The Big Book Buzz and Poetry Slam in the spring is for class book or poetry presentations, view book reviews and request new library books with our custom-made Wishing Well.

**__Suggested Workshop: Speed geeking about tools or website we like.__** "Speed Geeking is a participation process used to quickly view a number of presentations within a fixed period of time. A large room is selected as the speed geeking venue. All the presenters are arranged in a large circle along the edge of the room. The remaining members of the audience stand at the center of the room. Ideally there are about 6-7 audience members for each presenter. One person acts as the facilitator. The facilitator rings a bell to start proceedings. Once proceedings start, the audience splits up into groups and each group goes to one of the presenters. Presenters have a short duration, usually 5 minutes, to give their presentation and answer questions. At the end of the five minutes, the facilitator rings a bell. At this point, each group moves over to the presenter to their right and the timer starts once more. The session ends when every group has attended all the presentations."
