[ISLMA-Share] One Book, One School.

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our school has had one book one school for the past 15 years.  Students select it from the list of Rebecca Caudill.  These students are on the Student Reading Committee.  We have had between 20 and 65 students on the committee.
