[AISLE-Share] Picture books in the MS

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I have a large collection of picture books and they have their own section
(18 shelves).  They are cataloged with a PB and a pink dot (for easy
shelving).  They are used by various teachers and all of the special needs
classes in my building.
