Help Wanted Area in the Classroom!

 I have created a "Help Wanted" area in my classroom:) The idea came to me after going through a few of my books, and noticing a few that were damaged or in the place. I have seen the idea to use a "Book Hospital" on Pinterest (where else?!) and decided to incorporate that into a job for a class librarian. The jobs I chose to post are shown below. I also decided to make this kind of like a real application process, where applicants have to fill out a form to be considered for the job. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of responses I get. :)

This job posting (for a student editor) says:
