[ISLMA-Share] New Books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have a similar list that always far exceeds my budget. My problem is making sure I choose the best books for the best reasons from the ever growing list! Any helpful advice? I read every book I can, read reviews, blogs, everything I can and I still question my orders. 
Bottom line is I need a bigger budget to meet our school's needs!
