[aisle] Library next year

[HELEN BIBLER]

Right now I am thinking my kids in grades 3-5 (and maybe 2 as well) can learn to look and put books on hold that we will bring to them. I'm also going to try to seriously beef up our ebook collection. The 2 year books are appealing to me because despite the fact that they won't be permanently a part of the collection, their price points make them very doable. I also need to coordinate so I'm not buying stuff they can get from Bookflix or Epic. Oy!

For younger, I will try to work closely with teachers to pull and bring books that meet units of study or stories in their readers. Then I would always have some of the popular stuff (unicorns! cars! dinosaurs! Elephant & Piggie) available....

The other issue is if you have fifth grade, then kindergarten, then second grade. Totally different books for each grade level. You can't push three carts at a time. When I was on a cart, I told teachers they'd need to come back to the room a few minutes early and that I'd be a few minutes late to the next class. This was especially true when I had to go up or down the elevator or across the entire building.
