[ISLMA-Share] Guinness World Record books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We only carry *Guinness World Records* at our junior high. I purchase one
copy and when it falls apart, I don't replace it.

For my K-2 and 3-5 buildings, I purchase the annual *Scholastic World
Records* books (in paperback), which are more age-appropriate. They fall
apart pretty quickly though (pages fall out), so I just remove the falling
out pages and continue to circulate until they're literally coming apart at
the seams! The kids don't really notice the missing pages. I don't replace
those books, either.

We DO carry the *Guinness Gamer's Editions* in our 3-5 and junior high.
Those are VERY popular and seem to hold up better. I keep them until they
fall apart, even if they're a few years old.
