[aisle] Book madness

Fri Oct 25 09:41:53 CDT 2019

I do the same.  I alternate between the top books of the year or the top books of all time (we are a newer school).  I alternate sides of the bracket so the 1st and 2nd most popular are opposite of each other and mix up the order etc.  We enlarge the bracket and slowly reveal winners in each bracket on the poster and in the announcements.

I run a report through Follett for the top 20 most checked out books.  Usually ends up being Caudills and the book Wonder.

I've done the same in the past, running a report of popular books. One year I also did top 8 fiction vs. top 8 graphic novels, since GN are pretty huge at my school- fiction won btw.

I use Follett Destiny and run a report of the books that have had the most circulation and I use those.

Dear All,
I have seen several schools done their version of March Madness for books. How did you choose which books to put in the brackets?

Thanks
