[aisle] Checking books out from a cart in the classroom

[Zaitzeff, Gretchen]

Danielle,

Here is one example of how students are pre-ordering books: https://sites.google.com/view/vmbulldogslibrary/bookhub

then the books are being checked-out and delivered to classrooms. There are more examples of Book Menus on social media.

Just one idea.

Hope this is helpful!

Hello,

It appears my district (my school is K-4) will be sending specials teachers into classrooms.  I have brought books on a cart before to a classroom for checkout.

What I'm having trouble with is how to have them browse the books without touching every book.

I'm not sure how much access they will have to their classroom libraries so I am trying to  give them as much choice as I can (knowing that I'm the one that selected the books to go on the cart in the first place).

I've also been thinking through ways for them to see the books I have and various ways to put them on hold.

I've seen ideas where they select a topic, but I don't think that that makes it broad enough.  Picture books don't always fall into a "topic".  They are just a good story.

Anyway, hopefully I'm making sense.  Feel free to email directly if you'd like.

Thank you,
Danielle
