[aisle] Faculty Book Club ideas

[Beverly Zbinden]

I started a staff book club last year (again). It is specifically for
reading YA. Last year's titles were: *The 57 Bus* and *The Way You Make Me
Feel*. I also convinced our principal to pay for the books as we are
"booking them forward" (Idea Credit: Miriam Rosen - ETHS Librarian). We put
a name plate in the book and a participating staff member writes a note on
the book plate and passes it on to another student or staff member at Niles
North. It's been fun so far!

"What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it thinks
about education."
  - Harold Howe, former U.S. Commissioner of Education
