[ISLMA-Share] Guinness World Record books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our building is for grades 6-12.  It's mainly the Jr high students who read
GWR, though. I keep them through the yrs, unless they fall apart, of
course, on a "fun stuff" shelf rather than shelving them by Dewey #. I also
keep any Ripleys, magic eye, Scholastic fun facts, etc there too, as well
as past issues of magazines and old comic books (Calvin and Hobbes,
Peanuts, Pearl's Before Swine).
This shelving unit is adjacent to our graphic novels section. I figure we
all need a break from serious reading sometimes! Teachers love the fun
stuff shelves too - esp with its old SI mags! They also feel free to
restrict their students' "fun" check-outs.
