[ISLMA-Share] book room

Mon May 1 14:31:02 CDT 2017

I have a book room in a corner of my library. The books are leveled by F&P,
then (roughly) alphabetical by title. It's a lot of work to set up, but my
teachers use it ALL THE TIME.

Ours was originally funded by the district, but then teachers donated books
they had multiple copies of in their classrooms. I've added to it with
books from the book fair.

I'd be happy to correspond with you by phone or via email if you'd like
more information!
